When I was a young girl . . . a long, long time ago . . . I accidentally ripped off one of these tags from my mattress while taking off a sheet. Back in the day, it didn't say "Except by the Consumer", and when it happened, I gasped. I looked at the label in my hand and read every single word on it. I wondered how in the world they would find out that I had ripped it off, but I knew that somehow they could.
I worried about what the penalty would be. I thought that they might haul me off to jail. So, I did the only thing that I could do . . . I used around 50 yards of scotch tape and I taped the tag back onto the mattress. I didn't tell a single soul . . . not my mom . . . not any of my sisters . . . not any one of my friends.
Every washday I would carefully take off the sheet. I would check the tape. I would make sure that the tag was still secure. I would replace tape if needed. I would pat, pat, pat the tag down flat before putting on a clean sheet.
I did this for years.
