FUR TRIM LABEL LAW PLEASE READ

[Guest guest]

I did some research on this loophole in the federal law its even

worse than we think it is. The $150 rule applies to the fur itself

meaning if the fur itself costs less than $150 the garment does not

have to be labeled..the coat can cost more but as long as the fur

trim costs less than 150 they dont have to label it.. UGGHHH Here

is the actual law I copied and paste the Exempt from label part.

nPlease pass this on

Exemption

 

If the cost to a manufacturer of fur trim used on a garment (not

including the cost of adding the trim to the product) or a

manufacturer's selling price of a fur product is $150 or less, the

product is exempt from the statute and rules.

The exemption does not apply if:

the product contains dog or cat fur;

the product contains used fur;

the product is the whole skin of an animal, with head, ears, paws,

and tail;

any false, deceptive, or misleading statements are made about the

fur.

In addition, if any representations about the fur are made in

labeling, invoicing, or advertising, you must disclose the name of

the animal, whether the fur is artificially colored and whether the

fur is composed of pieces.

Therefore, a product that meets the $150 exemption criteria cannot

be called fur, animal fur or genuine fur without disclosures about

the animal name, any artificial coloring process, and the use of fur

pieces or waste. The exemption still would apply to the other Fur

Rule requirements, such as the label size, and the disclosure of fur

origin. Compliance with the Textile or Wool Rules labeling

requirements would be necessary for other parts of the garment.

 

The manufacturer of an exempt fur product must keep records showing

the cost of the fur. If the manufacturer's selling price of the

product is more than $150, and the exemption applies because the

original cost of the fur to the manufacturer was $150 or less, the

invoice must state that the fur is exempt from the Fur Act and Rules

(for example, " FPL EXEMPT " ).

such bullshit!!!!***
