PART 300_RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE WOOL PRODUCTS LABELING ACT

Sec. 300.5  Required label and method of affixing.

    (a) A label is required to be affixed to each wool product and, 
where required, to its package or container in a secure manner. Such 
label shall be conspicuous and shall be of such durability as to remain 
attached to the product and its package throughout any distribution, 
sale, resale and until sold and delivered to the ultimate consumer.
    (b) Each wool product with a neck must have a label disclosing the 
country of origin affixed to the inside center of the neck midway 
between the shoulder seams or in close proximity to another label 
affixed to the inside center of the neck. The fiber content and RN or 
name of the company may be disclosed on the same label as the country of 
origin or on another conspicuous and readily accessible label or labels 
on the inside or outside of the garment. On all other wool products, the 
required information shall be disclosed on a conspicuous and readily 
accessible label or labels on the inside or outside of the product. The 
country of origin disclosure must always appear on the front side of the 
label. Other required information may appear either on the front side or 
the reverse side of a label, provided that the information is 
conspicuous and readily accessible.
    (c) In the case of hosiery products, this section does not require 
affixing a label to each hosiery product contained in a package if, (1) 
such hosiery products are intended for sale to the ultimate consumer in 
such package, (2) such package has affixed to it a label bearing the 
required information for the hosiery products contained in the package, 
and (3) the information on the label affixed to the package is equally 
applicable to each wool product contained therein.
