Is the cape flame retardant?
Like most polyester costume items, it should be kept away from all sources of fire and heat.
What is the recommended age range?
The cape is sized for children, though the 49-inch length should be measured against the user to ensure it is not too long.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the cape for wear, remove it from packaging and allow it to hang for several hours to release any shipping creases. If wrinkles persist, use a low-temperature iron or a fabric steamer on the reverse side of the polyester material to avoid heat damage. For storage, it is recommended to keep the cape on a padded hanger in a cool, dry closet. Should the item become soiled, spot-clean only with a damp, soft cloth and mild soap; avoid machine washing to maintain the structural integrity of the fabric and hood attachment.
