Are pillow tags illegal to remove?

• It is illegal for manufacturers or sellers to remove these tags before you buy the item.
  That’s because the label has to be there so you can make an informed choice.
• But once the pillow is in your hands — and especially once you’ve bought it — most laws do not make it illegal for you to remove the tag.
  You can trim the tag off if it’s bothering you, rubbing your neck, or creating lint in your bed.

The “illegal to remove” language is really just about ensuring truth in labeling for consumers — not a rule that sticks to the product forever.
