Guides for the Feather and Down Products Industry

On April 15, 1994, the Commission published a Federal Register notice initiating the regulatory review of the Federal Trade Commission's (``Commission'') Guides for the Feather and Down Products Industry (``Guides'') and seeking public comment. On October 28, 1996, the Commission published a second Federal Register notice seeking additional information. In the 1996 notice, the Commission indicated that it had made a preliminary determination to retain but modify the Guides and sought comment on several issues. The Commission has now completed its review, and this notice announces the Commission's decision to rescind the Guides. In addition, the notice provides a general enforcement policy statement with respect to misrepresentations concerning feather and down-filled products.
