New U S Label Law Guards Consumers From Wool Misinformation
Washington explains the Wool Labeling Act now requires clear labeling of wool products. It defines wool as including Angora Cashmere camel alpaca vicuna llama and mandates fiber content details and percentages. Reprocessed and reused wools are weaker and separate terms guide consumer judgment while other fibers may accompany wool. The act aims to protect buyers while letting them decide if blends suit needs.
