Hello Ezra! The FPLA (which requires dual-system labeling) has a few exeptions. The following, is a direct quote from the Federal Trade Commission's website, regarding FPLA (with my personal commentary in [brackets]):
---------------- Exemptions from this law: The FTC's regulations under FPLA do not apply to products distributed for industrial or institutional uses. Insecticides, fungicides, and rodenticides are under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Agency. The following products, and miscellaneous others, do not fall under FPLA jurisdiction: automotive products --greeting cards-- school supplies bottled gas for heating or cooking-- hardware --sewing accessories Christmas light sets --inks-- small arms ammunition cigarette lighters-- lawn and garden supplies-- souvenirs clothing and other textiles-- magnetic recording tape-- stationary and writing supplies durable goods [could include lawn accessories]-- paints and kindred products threads gift ties and tapes-- pet care --supplies tools gift wraps --safety flares-- toys safety pins --typewriter ribbons Many products that are exempt from the FPLA nevertheless fall within the purview of the Weights and Measures laws of the individual states. [end of quote] ~Source: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/fpla/outline.html -------------------- Unfourtunatly, I have seen some products labeled exclusively in FFU -- which greatly disturbes me. Eventually, I would like to see all products labeled only with SI and no mention what-so-ever of FFU. I hope this information helps you!
