As the packaged firewood business has grown over the past
thirty years, measurement and labeling standards have
begun to attract more regulatory scrutiny. It is no longer just
a matter of "throwing wood into a package". Federal labeling
standards enacted in 1992 under the "Fair Packaging and
Labeling Act" and volumetric test procedures for firewood
adopted by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1998 have
put new teeth into consumer fraud protection. All packaged
firewood suppliers are now required to do what HotWood, Inc,
has always done...pack a full measure and make all required
labeling disclosures.
With distribution in over 5,300 retail outlets in the Western
United States, our record of 100% compliance is testimony
to the emphasis we place on quality control and quantity
assurance. At HotWood, Inc, we are happy to guarantee 100%
compliance with volume and labeling standards, inclusive of
all regulatory changes as they develop.
