Candy and everybody, I don't have any sources to report on the Teflon, but
do have this interesting news: apparently the chemical that makes Teflon is
unsafe and the government is having it removed from the market. By 2010 95%
of Teflon had to be removed from the market and by 2015 production will be
completely ceased.
I've heard this about Teflon pots and pans but didn't know it applied to all
Teflon products. So we'll all be exploring alternatives to this label type.
I wonder if vinyl tape is a good alternative.

Erica: Would you please share any responses you receive with the list? I
have used the Teflon tape for years to make clothing labels, as well as
other reusable labels that I attach to items with either a rubber band (as
in the case of medicine bottles, etc.) or safety pins (in the case of
clothing). The Teflon tape is excellent for these purposes. It lasts forever
and can go through both the washer and the dryer. By "regular plastic
labeling tape," are you referring to Dymo tape with an adhesive backing?
Thanks, Candy

A consumer of mine recently ordered Teflon label tape from this agency:
http://shop.wcblind.org/Teflon-Label-Tape_p_850.html
but what she received was regular plastic labeling tape. While she has a
call out to them I thought I'd ask to see if anybody has another source. I
don't find it at any of the big product stores. Note that this is the size
that fits through slate slots, is machine washable, can be ironed, and I
believe is non-adhesive.
Thanks,
