Saks To Implement New Fur Labeling Policies LABEL, MAIN, RETAIL 02.08.10Written By Ben

Saks has agreed to implement new faux-fur labeling as a result of an out of court settlement. Nearly a year ago, Saks and others had been sued for improperly mislabeling many of their faux-fur products.

Though the products were labeled as faux-fur, they actually contained raccoon-dog fur. Other companies that had been involved in similar lawsuits include, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, and Macy’s.

The result of the settlement will enforce Saks to be more careful about fur labeling and to endorse federal legislation to end the sale of fur-trimmed products that carry mislabeled faux-fur products.
