Section 124.08. Retail price labeling.

 

(1)  A price label permanently imprinted on or affixed to consumer property or its container, by the manufacturer or supplier, and not under control of the retail seller or instigated by the retail seller, or which is required to be attached to such property under federal law, need not be covered or obliterated for purposes of compliance with these rules when the retail seller's current offering price is attached to, printed on or placed on a label, tag or sign accompanying such property, provided no other price comparison based thereon is made by the retail seller. This exemption shall not apply to a price label which can be removed by the retail seller without damage to consumer property or its container, except where removal is prohibited by federal law.

(2)  Disclosure of the date, time or seasonal period as required under s. ATCP 124.04 (1) (b) or 124.05 (1) (b) , need not be made on a label, tag or sign used at the premises of the retail seller in connection with the offer or sale of consumer property of a seasonal nature if the comparison is based on a price used during the immediately preceding selling season.
