Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2006

The Truth in Fur Labeling Act of 2006 (H.R. 4904) would require all clothing items containing any amount of animal fur to be labeled with the name of the animal and the country of origin. Under the law at the time, manufacturers were exempt from labeling requirements if the value of the fur used in a garment was less than $150. By removing this "de minimis" exemption, the bill ensures that consumers are informed about the presence of real fur in all apparel, regardless of the quantity or cost of the material.
