HB 1537 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates a provision relating to the sale of wood products

HB 1537 prohibits businesses from falsely representing non-wood products as wood-derived, such as labeling a plastic item as "wood." It defines "wood product" broadly to include any item made from wood, like timber or lumber. The Department of Commerce and Insurance must create enforcement rules, which must comply with existing state regulations. This directly affects businesses selling products marketed as wood-based, requiring them to accurately represent their materials. The law aims to prevent consumer deception in product labeling.
