Which information may be used to identify the manufacturer or responsible party on a textile label?

• A. The owner's home address
• B. The store's mailing address
• C. The name under which the manufacturer does business or RN number
• D. The product's purchase date

Answer: (C)

When labeling textiles, the information that identifies who is responsible for the product is the name under which the manufacturer does business or an RN number. This is used because it provides a clear, official link to the company accountable for the item; the RN number is a unique identifier assigned to the manufacturer or importer and can be looked up to find that party. Private home addresses or the store’s address point to individuals or retailers rather than the maker, and a purchase date doesn’t identify who produced the item.
