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

概要

The Federal Trade Commission (the ``Commission'') proposes to commence a rulemaking proceeding to amend its Trade Regulation Rule on Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel and Certain Piece Goods, 16 CFR Part 423 (``the Care Labeling Rule'' or ``the Rule''). The Commission seeks comment on whether the definitions of water temperatures in the Appendix of the Rule should be amended. In addition, the Commission seeks comment on possible alternatives for amending the Rule's current requirement that either a washing instruction or a dry cleaning instruction may be used. Finally, the Commission seeks comment on whether the reasonable basis portion of the Rule should be amended.
