An Act amending the act of May 27, 1937 (P.L.926, No.249), referred to as the Bedding and Upholstery Law, further providing for definitions, for prohibited conduct, for cleansing and sterilization and disinfection process and for requiring the placing of tag and adhesive stamp on certain material.
This bill updates Pennsylvania's Bedding and Upholstery Law to clarify definitions for secondhand, reclaimed, and recycled materials while strengthening safety requirements for items like mattresses and furniture. It mandates that any secondhand or recycled materials used in renovation must be cleansed, sterilized, or disinfected using a process approved by the Department of Labor and Industry. Additionally, the law requires that all affected products display a visible yellow tag detailing the manufacturer's registration number, the specific materials used, and a confirmation that the item has been sterilized and disinfected. These changes aim to improve transparency and public health standards for the sale and repair of used bedding and upholstered goods.
