New Jersey § 56:14-1

§ 56:14-1.

a. No person shall sell or offer to sell any new coat, jacket, garment or other clothing

apparel made wholly or in part of fur, regardless of the price of the clothing apparel

or the amount of the value of the fur contained therein, unless it has attached and

conspicuously displayed a tag or label including the following information: (1) the name or names of the animal or animals that produced the fur, as set forth

in the Fur Products Name Guide, promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission pursuant

to section 7 of the federal “Fur Products Labeling Act,” Pub.L.82-110 ( 15 U.S.C. s.69e ); and (2) the name of the country of origin of any imported furs used. b. Labeling of a new article of clothing apparel pursuant to this section shall be

accomplished by adding the required disclosures to a permanent or temporary tag attached

to the clothing apparel, or by affixing in a conspicuous place a sticker listing these

disclosures upon the clothing apparel. c. As used in this section, “ fur ” means animal skin or part thereof, with hair, fleece, or fibers attached thereto,

either in its raw or processed state. d. A retail merchant shall not be held liable for a violation of this section if a

manufacturer or supplier for the merchant certifies to that merchant, in the invoice

or other written document describing the clothing apparel, that any tag or label attached

by the manufacturer or supplier conforms to the requirements of this section, unless

the retail merchant knew, or reasonably should have known, that the certification

is false. e. This section shall only apply to new clothing apparel sold or offered for sale

to a retail consumer in the first instance, and shall not apply to the resale of that

clothing apparel by any second-hand, consignment, goodwill or similar resale merchant. Additionally, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to apply to the

isolated or occasional sale of new clothing apparel by an individual not regularly

engaged in the business of selling clothing apparel and who originally purchased the

clothing apparel for the individual's personal use.
