Re: what is this batting?

The Feds can only have jurisdiction when things cross state lines (and a few
other times). So the FTC requirements might come into play for a
manufacturer that ships between states, but once it's in a state, the state
rules take over. And yes, the rules can conflict with each other.

Those requirements vary by state.
A few years back I got into it with the State of California -- they
wanted
me to affix a fiber-content tag on each quilt I quilt, even when the
customer supplies all the materials (ie top, backing, batting). They
never
did explain to me how they expect me to know what the customer brought,
or
how it helps the customer to affix a tag telling them the fiber content
of
their own stuff.

(And I have to be licensed as a "bedding manufacturer", since my longarm
isn't in my house. This is to "protect the public", who apparently
wouldn't need protecting if I did this in my garage.)

only that it is a man made fiber. Wierd... I thought you had to
disclose what it was made out of by law....
