FTC Publishes Fiber Labeling Proposal in Federal Register

The Federal Trade Commission published in the Federal Register its proposed rule to amend its Textile Fiber Products Identification Act regulations on textile labeling (see 13050625 for details). The proposal would amend provisions on fiber content disclosures to adopt a revised ISO standard and loosen disclosure requirements for hang-tags. The proposed rule would also add language clarifying that the country of origin for labeling purposes is determined under customs laws and regulations. Comments on the proposed rule are due by July 8.
