Warranty Laws Changed

New rules for displaying the availability of warranties have been approved by the Federal Trade Commission.

Under the new rules, which go into effect upon publication in the "Federal Register," retailers may either display the warranty near the product or post signs telling customers the information will be made available upon request.

Most lumber dealers were found to already be keeping warranty information in binders behind the counter, despite the four options under the old rules.

CIS Program Evaluation

There were mixed reviews of the effectiveness of the treated wood industry's Consumer Awareness program in midMay, the month the official audit was begun, according to John Hall, president of the American Wood Preservers Institute.

"Overall the feedback we are getting is very encouraging." said Hall. "The National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association completed a minisurvey on its own during the first week of May which, although admittedly not 'scientific,' gave us an excellent appraisal of what was going on."

"Every retail dealer contacted was aware that he should give purchasers of treated wood products Consumer Information Sheets. Over 70% had been receiving CISs from the lumber treaters and 64% said treaters were attaching copies of the CISs to their lumber and their invoices."

The retailers were asked if their employees handed out Consumer Information Sheels to buyers oftreated wood and, if, in their opinion, the method was a successful way to get information on treated wood to the consumers. The response to both these questions wasTl% affirmative.

The retailers gave high marks to their state and regional associations for their diligence in pushing the Consumer Awareness Program, Hall explained.

In the April Federal RegistertheEnvironmental Protection Agency, in its semiannual regulatory agenda, made reference to their continued concern about potential risks to users ofwood treated with pesticides, stating that they "will propose to require that homeowners and other users oftreated wood are provided with information on the safe handling, use and disposal oftreated wood. Final action will depend on whether the wood preservative industry complies fully with a voluntary program to accomplish the same goal."

The legal deadline is December but the final decision will be made based in large part on the results ofthe official audit which continues throughout the summer months.

When staining is completed, the wood is stored on racks to air dry naturally overnight so the finish won't be exposed to weather before its time.
