What is the purpose of the warning labe on a mattress?

And what happens if I rip it off?

Answers:
I am going to report you to the fbi for even suggestin ripping that off.
My little boy,(8 years old), is being investigated right now because I turned him in.
They took him down town and grilled him for 8 hours at fbi head quarters. they told him the only way they would get off his back is if he turns in and narc on other mattress tag ripper offers.

That is intended for retailers, not consumers.

to warn you.
The Mattress Police come after you.
if you rip it off the matress guy will come and rip off a part of your body...im not specifying tho....youll find out on your own...
The FBI will come and investigate . They may put you in jail.
It's how the government keeps track of us. If you rip it off, you end up in jail so that way they know where you are at all times.
I don't think they put them on nowadays, but they were meant for the retailers not the consumers.
Actually that warning label is not for you, the end user of the mattress. That's the product of a consumer law specifiying it's unlawful to sell a mattress without one of those tags, to make sure you're not getting some used, lice-infested, hepatitus-ridden mattress which was thrown out of a leper colony or something.

As a matter of fact, to help ensure this, you would be doing everyone who buys mattresses a favor by removing that tag, at least prior to disposing of the mattress.
All stuffed products, mattresses pillows comforters chair pads, are rewuired to have a law label tag. The tag tells the consumer if the product is new, or used, what the filling is, what the covering fabric content is, and who made it. Any company selling product must be registered with the state the product is sold in.
The label may not be removed by the retailer, however once it is purchased, rip away.
It's for the retailer. You can rip it off as soon as it's delivered if you don't want to live with it... same as the warning labels on pillows.
Most places still have (public
health) laws preventing the resale of used bedding. You can rip it off!! Nothing will happen! That is......unless you plan on reselling it to somebody!! =) haha!
Not 2 sound mean but there is no purpose for it I mean the matress is all that matters who would need a huge tag thats just in the way?
lol at Theodore.

If you rip it off and you are not the owner they say you can go to jail. I have no idea why. Why do they make it seem so serious? It's just a tag. How many people do you think really care about this? How many people have been reported for doing it?
