Many manufacturers, especially foreign, are just not aware of the tagging requirements of the U.S., and those that are and wish to adhere to the proper tagging laws have difficulty finding the right assistance, so they copy what others are doing - even down to the registration number. Many factories believe that once you obtain a URN, it will "automatically" be accepted and valid in the other registering states. It will be, but not "automatically". It must also be registered in the other states through applying for licenses in those other states. You can check the licensing status of any factory by contacting those state officials and providing them with the factory name and/or uniform registry number. You can find the direct email addresses on our Global Registration Services, Inc. website at www.globalrsinc.com. You would need to "sign up" to have access to those email addresses. Unfortunately there is no single database of all registered factories, but Global Registration (affiliated with American Law) has registered over 1,000 factories and may even be able to recommend some suppliers for down/feather filled products. The website also list links for a few of the states that have searchable online databases of registered factories (under Resources). Another good source for suppliers of down/feather is the International Down & Feather Lab (IDFL) at www.idfl.com. Danielle, this is no surprise.

Only the states of MA, OH & PA regulate stuffed toys for law labels. The state of NY does not require stuffed dolls or any toys to have a law label on them.

Is there a list of companies anywhere that do have all of their ducks in a row? ( pun intended ) Also, is there a way to find out on my own if a manufacturer is valid in certain states on my own? This is so frustrating.. We are finding in almost impossible to find manufacturers that the URN number is valid in every required state to produce down feather pillow inserts.
