FTC scrutiny on gas and clothing rules sharpen consumer labelling
Washington reports the FTC ruled that clothing must bear permanent washing or cleaning instructions and gasoline pumps must display octane contents. The clothing rule starts next July 3 with exemptions possible for items under $3, and disposable paper labels may be allowed for sheer or delicate fabrics. The octane rule, pushed for approval 11 months ago, requires a revised formula averaging research and motor octane, generally two points lower than the current label. The ruling faces a court challenge by the National Petroleum Refiners Association.
