IMPORTANT NOTICE

DOWN CONTENT LABELLING OF QUILTS

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has brought to the attention of Purax Feather Holdings Pty Ltd (Purax) that sample testing of our Purax White Eider brand quilt showed that it contained approximately 85% goose down, significantly less than the 100% goose down that we claimed.

Accordingly, the ACCC has advised Purax that the down content claims that we have made are likely to be in contravention of the Trade Practices Act which requires that any claims made be accurate and not misleading to consumers.

In making 100% down content claims, we relied on down content tolerances allowed in Australian Standard 2479-1987.

We fully acknowledge the ACCC’s concerns and apologise to consumers who consider that they may have been misled by the claims that we made.

Purax has undertaken to the ACCC that where in future we specify a percentage

(or percentage range) of down this will accurately reflect the minimum amount of down present in our quilts and pillows.

This corrective advertisement has been placed by Purax in compliance with court enforceable undertakings given by Purax to the ACCC.
