PART 300_RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE WOOL PRODUCTS LABELING ACT 
OF 1939--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 300.19  Use of terms ``mohair'' and ``cashmere.''

    (a) In setting forth the required fiber content of a product 
containing hair of the Angora goat known as mohair or containing hair or 
fleece of the Cashmere goat known as cashmere, the term mohair or 
cashmere, respectively, may be used for such fiber in lieu of the word 
``wool,'' provided the respective percentage of each such fiber 
designated as ``mohair'' or ``cashmere'' is given, and provided further 
that such term ``mohair'' or ``cashmere'' where used is qualified by the 
word ``recycled'' when the fiber referred to is ``recycled wool'' as 
defined in the Act. The following are examples of fiber content 
designations permitted under this rule:

50% Mohair--50% Wool
60% Recycled Mohair--40% Cashmere
60% Cotton--40% Recycled Cashmere.

    (b) Where an election is made to use the term ``mohair'' or 
``cashmere'' in lieu of the term wool as permitted by this section, the 
appropriate designation of ``mohair'' or ``cashmere'' shall be used at 
any time reference is made to such fiber in either required or 
nonrequired information. The term ``mohair'' or ``cashmere'' or any 
words, coined words, symbols or depictions connoting or implying the 
presence of such fibers shall not be used in nonrequired information on 
the required label or on any secondary or auxiliary label attached to 
the wool product if the term ``mohair'' or ``cashmere'' as the case may 
be does not appear in the required fiber content disclosure.
