The intimidating “under penalty of law” warning tags on pillows and mattresses were created to prohibit sellers, not buyers, from hiding product materials.
Introduced to combat unsanitary padding practices, mandatory labeling forced manufacturers to disclose hidden fillings so customers knew what they were purchasing.
Retailers faced legal consequences for altering or cutting these tags before a sale, but the explicit phrasing “except by the consumer” fully protects individual owners.
Once a stuffed item is purchased, removing the label is entirely legal, though taking a quick photo first preserves valuable care instructions and allergy details.
