Question
With G-d's help Hello, Is it permissible to purchase a sweater from China labeled 100% polyester without checking for Shaatnez?
Answer
Hello
According to the law, there is no concern, as it is not supposed to contain either wool or linen.
If there are decorations, appliqués, etc., they should be checked, as they might be made from different materials than the body of the sweater.
