Not a problem:And what really angers me about the labels that were eventually made compulsory is that they weren't made to be difficult to remove (or woven in) so when they fall off over time or are misguidedly removed , perfectly good reusable seating ends up on landfill if it can't easily be given away/sold on (as many items are too heavy /bulky to take away for most people)

SPCome on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.0 -

So the presence of a fire safety label is completely worthless then. I'm genuinely amazed these can be bought by literally anyone.0 -
Yes, absolutely. As long as you believe that all furniture meets the requirements for fire safety if it has a label on it, which is the standard assumption made by most people. I can't believe that anyone would want to buy them for nefarious purposes and I'm sure the Amazon seller checks the integrity of the people he sells them to is at an appropriate standard.So you can invent a batch number, attach those into any piece of furniture regardless of age and it actually meeting the requirements for fire safety?
Of course, if you have more than 5 or 6 sofas as some people do, and you have accidentally removed the label from them all you might want to buy in larger quantities:
