PART 300_RULES AND REGULATIONS UNDER THE WOOL PRODUCTS LABELING ACT 
OF 1939--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 300.3  Required label information.

    (a) The marking of wool products under the Act shall be in the form 
of a stamp, tag, label or other means of identification, showing and 
displaying upon the product the required information legibly, 
conspicuously, and nondeceptively. The information required to be shown 
and displayed upon the product in the stamp, tag, label, or other mark 
of identification, shall be that which is required by the Act and the 
rules and regulations thereunder, including the following:
    (1) The fiber content of the product specified in section 4(a)(2)(A) 
of the Act. The generic names and percentages by weight of the 
constituent fibers present in the wool product, exclusive of permissive 
ornamentation, shall appear on such label with any percentage of fiber 
or fibers designated as ``other fiber'' or ``other fibers'' as provided 
by section 4(a)(2)(A)(5) of the Act appearing last.
    (2) The maximum percentage of the total weight of the wool product 
of any nonfibrous loading, filling or adulterating matter as prescribed 
by section 4(a)(2)(B) of the Act.
    (3) The name or registered identification number issued by the 
Commission of the manufacturer of the wool product or the name or 
registered identification number of one or more persons subject to 
section 3 of the Act with respect to such wool product.
    (4) The name of the country where the wool product was processed or 
manufactured.
    (b) In disclosing the constituent fibers in information required by 
the Act and regulations in this part or in any non-required information, 
no fiber present in the amount of less than 5 percent shall be 
designated by its generic name or fiber trademark but shall be 
designated as ``other fiber,'' except that the percentage of wool or 
recycled wool shall always be stated, in accordance with section 
4(a)(2)(A) of the Act. When more than one of such fibers, other than 
wool or recycled wool, are present in amounts of less than 5 percent, 
they shall be designated in the aggregate as ``other fibers.'' Provided, 
however, that nothing in this section shall prevent the disclosure of 
any fiber present in the product which has a clearly established and 
definite functional significance when present in the amount stated, as 
for example:

``98% wool
2% nylon.''
