Return labels required from large sellers
If enacted, large sellers with 500+ employees would have to include a physical, pre-addressed return label in the package. This would apply to sales to consumers of physical goods delivered starting 1 year after enactment. It would not cover perishable items not typically returned, custom or personalized items that cannot be resold, or goods where the seller offers a free, easy non‑shipping return like scheduled at‑home pickup. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) would write rules within 180 days and could enforce violations as unfair or deceptive practices. This would not limit any other consumer rights under other laws.
