Sec. 20.2  Deception as to identity of rebuilder, remanufacturer, 
reconditioner or reliner.

    (a) It is unfair or deceptive to misrepresent the identity of the 
rebuilder, remanufacturer, reconditioner or reliner of an industry 
product.
    (b) In connection with the sale or offering for sale of an industry 
product, if the identity of the original manufacturer of the product, or 
the identity of the manufacturer for which the product was originally 
made, is revealed and the product was rebuilt, remanufactured, 
reconditioned or relined by someone else, it is unfair or deceptive to 
fail to disclose such fact wherever the original manufacturer is 
identified in advertising and sales promotional literature concerning 
the product, on the container in which the product is packed, and on the 
product, in close conjunction with, and of the same permanency and 
conspicuousness as, the disclosure of previous use of the product 
described by this section. Examples of such disclosures include:
    (1) Disclosure of the identity of the rebuilder:

Rebuilt by John Doe Co.

    (2) Disclosure that the product was rebuilt by an independent 
rebuilder:

Rebuilt by an Independent Rebuilder.

    (3) Disclosure that the product was rebuilt by someone other than 
the manufacturer so identified:

Rebuilt by other than XYZ Motors.

    (4) Disclosure that the product was rebuilt for the identified 
manufacturer, if such is the case:

Rebuilt for XYZ Motors.
