What to look at for this product

If your printed throw pillow has a printed cover around stuffing, ask for fiber composition details covering the outer fabric and the filling inside.

If your pillow will be sold as a filled article in Pennsylvania, request its registration details and the label identifying new filling materials.

If your pillow has a removable fabric cover, request the fiber test evidence identifying that printed cover separately from the pillow filling.

If your pillow will sell in Minnesota, ask whether PFAS were used in the printing treatment or finishes on the cover and stuffing.

If your pillow is also stocked in Massachusetts, check the filled article registration and new material artwork for the pillow construction being supplied.

If your pillow will have an origin label, ask which manufacturing country belongs on the finished pillow's artwork, including its removable cover and filled insert.

Labels and state rules

Fiber content, country of origin and RN; flat goods must state the country where the fabric was made.

Minnesota bans PFAS; California AB 1817 applies. Stuffed products need a registration number and an "All New Material" label in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
