I'd might as well be trying to dry myself off with a plastic bag; these towels, no matter what they say, are not 100% cotton. I also notice that I can buy 100% cotton garments that come out wrinkle-free in the drier. Of course these cannot be all cotton either, because cotton does not dry wrinkle-free as synthetics do. How can I find out what law/regulation/whatever it is, and start a stink to get truth in labelling back? It reminds me of when Indiana passed a law setting PI = 3.0 to make calcuations eaiser. It didn't change the value of PI any at all, law or no law. Same with "100%" cotton.

I would be upset if I was buying it based on the organic claim, and in the future seek out items made with organic cotton batting. If I was purchasing it for other reasons (good price, design, etc.) it wouldn't bother me. Yikes, this is a tough one.
