We've only ever had to deal with them in regards to JcPenney. I always jokingly
guessed they were a subsidiary, since I never crossed any other partners that
required testing labels with them. It *would* make a good smoke screen to
disguise the fact that you're abusing your trading partners! "I'm sorry they've
raised *their* prices so much, but you still need to pass compliance..." :)

The whole "third party testing" thing (and specifically fees for same) is a
longstanding topic here.
While I can't recall anything (15 years) dealing directly with labels, I would
bet you dollars to donuts you could search on "third
party testing" AND "ripoff" and get numerous hits going back a long long
time....
BTW... this testing service isn't perhaps located in Nigeria, run by some
former high government official, is it?
