You didn't rip off that tag on your mattress did you? Big brother has interests in your bedroom.

Just so you know, it is perfectly legal for the end-user to rip the tag off the mattress. The tag is only there for the middle handlers (e.g. wholesaler, retailer, etc). It cannot be legally removed until the customer receives the product. In this case, it is actually to protect the consumer by disclosing the materials used in the mattress, primarily "all new" versus "recycled".
The sad truth is that Big Brother is much more covert in its interests in your bedroom.

It's a joke. If the mental image of a bunch of dudes in white coats with clipboards sticking a guy in a big humming machine, and proceeding to burn his arm with a hot iron doesn't amuse (or terrify) you, then you are officially a zombie.

You should see how they inflicted the emotional pain!

Well, they won't actually whine but just increase the prices. At the end of the day, it's the consumers who will get affected, not the vendors. They don't need mercy of yours at all, better prepare to pay more.

Actually, both consumers and vendors are affected. If your customers can no longer afford to buy your product, you'll soon be without customers.
