  1. Thanks for the replies, everyone.

    It does feel weird putting someone else's name on my candles, but I think this could be a steady supply of money and I sure do need that. She's very excited about my candles, so I think she'll be promoting them big to her customers. She is several states away in a touristy area, so she'll be selling to people I'd otherwise probably never reach.

    I do have product liability insurance, so as long as there is an address and a phone number on the warning label, I'm thinking it should be okay? If, heaven forbid, someone wanted to sue the candlemaker (me), they would contact the store, and the store owner has my info on file.

    I am feeling a little nervous about it still, though (I'm a worrywart in general). It's probably worth a call to my insurance company to see if it's just my company name that is covered or my actual product no matter what name is on it. Know what I mean?

    Thanks again for your input!

  2. Hello,

    There is someone interested in private labeling my candles to sell in her 2 stores. She doesn't want my company name anywhere on the candle because she's going to sell them for more than I do on my website- she has the clientèle that will pay more- and she wants people to go to her for reorders.

    I'm fine with all that, as she's paying me a good price and I think she's going to be a steady customer.

    My question is... is it legally sufficient to put her address on the label and not mine? If I'm reading this correctly from the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, she would be the distributor, so her address would be sufficient:

    §1453. Requirements of Labeling; Placement, Form, and Contents of Statement of Quantity; Supplemental Statement of Quantity.

    • (a) Contents of label

    No person subject to the prohibition contained in section 1452 of this title shall distribute or cause to be distributed in commerce any packaged consumer commodity unless in conformity with regulations which shall be established by the promulgating authority pursuant to section 1455 of this title which shall provide that -

    • (1) The commodity shall bear a label specifying the identity of the commodity and the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor;

    Am I reading it right?

    Thanks for any insight...
