Play It Safe
Attach the SPSC Safety Hangtag to every mattress you produce Although all mattresses made in or imported into the United States must comply with Part 1633 and Part 1632, they are not fireproof. Attaching an SPSC safety hangtag to your mattresses helps protect against product liability and is a responsible and visible way to demonstrate your company's commitment to product safety. Nearly 220 million mattresses have carried the Sleep Products Safety Council's safety hangtags during the past 20 years. Hangtag sales also support SPSC's work as a watchdog for the industry--educating consumers about sleep product safety, building alliances within the safety community, and conducting product research.
Choose the safety hangtag option that’s right for you.
The safety hangtags are available three ways: • as a flat hangtag to insert with product-related literature provided to the consumer, or attached, • as a permanent, sewn-in Tyvek® label, or • as a bi-lingual English/French tag for use in Canada.
Add your name to SPSC’s e-mailing list. We’ll send you more information and an order form. Contact Jane Oseth at joseth@sleepproducts.org, (703) 683-8371, ext 1124. The hangtags provide your customers with valuable information on how to safeguard their families. Using the hangtag offers no legal guarantees, but its consumer safety messages can be helpful to both mattress manufacturers and retailers in defending product liability lawsuits.
