Selling Bedding, Stuffed Toys and Similar Items

Generally, State laws govern the sale of bedding, mattresses, stuffed toys and similar items that are not properly labeled in accordance with law.  An example of the definition of bedding follows:

"Bedding" means any upholstered furniture, any mattress, upholstered spring, comforter, bolster, pad, cushion, pillow, mattress protector, quilt, and any other upholstered article, to be used for sleeping, resting, or reclining purposes, and any glider, hammock, or other substantially similar article that is wholly or partly upholstered.

An example of the definition of Stuffed Toy is:
 
"Stuffed toy" means any article intended for use as a plaything or for an educational or recreational purpose that is wholly or partially stuffed with material.

And the tag or label sample definition is:

"Tag" or "label" means any material prescribed by the superintendent of industrial compliance to be attached to an article that contains information required under this chapter.

Check with your specific State laws before selling any of these items.  There are exemptions to these rules that also very by State.
