Trade Regulation Rule on Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods

الملخص

The Federal Trade Commission, pursuant to section 18 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, issues final amendments to its Trade Regulation Rule on Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods. The Commission is amending the Rule: To clarify what can constitute a reasonable basis for care instructions; and to change the definitions of "cold," "warm," and "hot" water in the Rule. The Commission has decided not to amend the Rule to require that an item that can be cleaned by home washing be labeled with instructions for home washing. In addition, it has decided not to amend the Rule at this time to include an instruction for professional wetcleaning. This document constitutes the Commission's Statement of Basis and Purpose for the amendments.
