325F.31 BEDDING TO BE LABELED.
No person shall make or remake, or sell, offer for sale, consign for sale, or possess with intent to sell, offer for sale, or consign for sale any article of bedding unless the same is labeled as follows:
On each article of bedding a label of durable material not less than three by 4-1/2 inches in size shall be displayed, upon which shall be in plain print, in the English language, a description of the material used as filling of such article of bedding; and, if such material, or any portion thereof, shall not have been previously used, the words "manufactured of new material" shall appear upon the label, together with the name and address of the maker or vendor thereof. If any of the material used in the making or remaking of such article of bedding shall have been previously used, the words "manufactured of secondhand material" or "remade of secondhand material", as the case may be, shall appear upon the label, together with the name and address of the maker or vendor thereof, and also a description of the material used in the filling of such article of bedding. On any article of bedding, not remade, but which has been previously used, the words "secondhand materials used in filling not known" shall appear upon the label, together with the name and address of the vendor thereof.
The statement required under this section shall be in form as follows:
