Untruth In Advertising: "100% COTTON"

a personal pet peeve that only became obviated to me when i began composting "1oo% cotton" clothing is the blatancy of this particular lie, proclaimed, no less, on a piece of printed polyester.

this is the piled remains of a pair of cotton pants scavenged for the cloth (& (metal & polyester) zipper), the rest put through the compost heap for a year & thence underground for a further year.

"1oo% cotton" would not leave a pile of polyester seams, pockets, tags & linings & metal rivets such as this but would just become dirt.

what law makes this lie legal?
