Responsible Buying for Nonprofit Needs
The organizations, laws and guidelines you should be aware of to ensure your apparel orders are safe, socially responsible and compliant.
The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA)
The FLPA allows the FTC to "issue regulations requiring that all 'consumer commodities' be labeled to disclose net contents, identity of commodity, and name and place of business of the product's manufacturer, packer or distributor." For apparel, this information should be displayed on the tag. Together with the Care Labeling of Textile Wearing Apparel & Certain Piece Goods (why there has to be care instructions on apparel), the requirements of the act support the Textile Products Identification Act (why and how mislabeling is unlawful).
