| CARE LABELLING |
|
To assist consumers in getting information about clothing care, the Federal Trade Commission in 1971 issued the Care Labelling Rule. This Rule requires manufacturers and importers to attach or affix care instruction to garments in such a manner that it will not become separated from the product and will remain legible during the useful life of the product.
The amended Rule was published on January 2, 1984, the revision made were based on information gathered by the Commission through public hearings and written comments, the data revealed that consumers found care labels to be useful but very often these care instructions were found inaccurate, incomplete and inconsistent. |

The revised version of the Rule makes no major modifications. Rather, the changes clarify the Rule requirements and simplify the Rule language. The Commission anticipates that these changes will make it easier for industry to comply with the Rule. In turn, consumers will benefit from clearer and more complete care instructions. |
