Must a care instruction take into consideration such things as linings, trim, buttons or zippers?
A. Yes. Care instructions must include all components of the product, including non-detachable linings, trim and other details. Any special considerations for such components should be contained in the instruction as a warning, for example, “Remove trim,” or “Close zipper.” A detachable component, such as a slip out liner, must be separately labeled when it requires a different care procedure than the main product.
