Summary

The Federal Trade Commission must enforce sections 69a, 69d, and 69h(b). The FTC can use its normal rules, powers, penalties, and protections under the Federal Trade Commission Act as if those rules were part of this law. The FTC can make rules about how required information is shown, inspect and test any fur or fur product, and work with other federal, state, or local agencies or with private people to carry out this law. Manufacturers and dealers must keep proper records about every fur or fur product they handle and keep those records for at least three years. If they fail to do so, they owe $100 for each day of failure, and the United States can sue to collect that money.
