Opinion. Letter
November 23, 1970
Dear Mr. Spill:
This is in reply to your request for an advisory opinion on behalf of the Rand Rubber Co., as to the proper location of disclosure of the country or origin on packages containing items of vinyl baby apparel imported from Taiwan.
According to the Commission's understanding of the facts, your company will label the individual imported items “Made in Taiwan,” and package them in clear poly bags in such a manner as to clearly and conspicuously disclose the country of foreign origin. The bags used in packaging will contain no writing, such as, “Made in U.S.A.” and the label will be clearly visible through the bag. ‘The Commission has given this matter careful consideration, and is of the view that, based on the material and information available, failure to disclose the country of foreign origin on the clear poly bags
would not be deceptive.
By direction of the Commission.
1789 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DECISIONS
Letter of Request
August 13, 1970 Dear Mr. O’Brien:
Would you please be good enough to render or have rendered an opinion on our discussion of today August 13, 1970. To wit, we are planning on packing three items made in Taiwan, abeled MADE IN TATWAN on each individual item in a poly bag, with a header stating the name of the store and size of the item and retail price. There will be no printing on the bag, such as, made in U.S.A. ete.
As per our discussion, it was your opinion that we need not mention country of origin on the package itself, as long as the goods were clearly labeled and the labels visible through the poly bag.
Awaiting your reply.
Very truly yours,
RAND RUBBER COMPANY, INC.
