SUBCHAPTER IV--LABELING OF FUR PRODUCTS
Sec. 69h. Guaranty
(a) Avoidance of liability; requirements
No person shall be guilty under section 69a of this title if he
establishes a guaranty received in good faith signed by and containing
the name and address of the person residing in the United States by whom
the fur product or fur guaranteed was manufactured or from whom it was
received, that said fur product is not misbranded or that said fur
product or fur is not falsely advertised or invoiced under the
provisions of this subchapter. Such guaranty shall be either (1) a
separate guaranty specifically designating the fur product or fur
guaranteed, in which case it may be on the invoice or other paper
relating to such fur product or fur; or (2) a continuing guaranty filed
with the Commission applicable to any fur product or fur handled by a
guarantor, in such form as the Commission by rules and regulations may
prescribe.
(b) Furnishing false guaranty
It shall be unlawful for any person to furnish, with respect to any
fur product or fur, a false guaranty (except a person relying upon a
guaranty to the same effect received in good faith signed by and
containing the name and address of the person residing in the United
States by whom the fur product or fur guaranteed was manufactured or
from whom it was received) with reason to believe the fur product or fur
falsely guaranteed may be introduced, sold, transported, or distributed
in commerce, and any person who violates the provisions of this
subsection is guilty of an unfair method of competition, and an unfair
or deceptive act or practice, in commerce within the meaning of the
Federal Trade Commission Act [15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.].
