How about checking labels in general. My family always has. Purchasing goods from places like Egypt, Jordan, etc? Not a good thing.

One would think that we’ve got better places to spend our money than in the Ukraine, just to save a couple of bucks.

Just remember who that local Ukrainian merchant is. More importantly, if he’s got an elderly grandafther living with him at home, remember who Grandpa is.

how bout stores selling clothes should check sample for Shatnez so they don’t put a stumbling block for customers who many times lose heavy money due to stores not refunding them for Shatnez loss. And i’m refering to Heimishe stores obviously. i had such a story but was lucky owner called me to make me aware that i had just bought a heavy Shatnez suit and view refunded me fully. But here stores state policy of not accepting responsibility for it, so check sample before ordering them in.

They just realized this? This has always been the case since Eastern Europe is way behind the West in using fabrics made from synthetic yarns.
