No. 339. Disclosure of origin of imported fishing lures. In response to a request for an advisory opinion, the Commission ruled that it would be necessary for the requesting party to make a clear and conspicuous disclosure at the point of sale of the foreign country of origin of its imported fishing flies.
INTERLOCUTORY ORDERS, ETC. : 1121 Under the factual situation presented in the ruling, the flies will be shipped to retailers for resale packaged 1 dozen loose in a plastic box. Each box will contain from 1 to 4 flies made in a foreign country and 8 to.11 flies of domestic origin. Fishermen normally will purchase the flies singly and not by the dozen.
