All bedding, upholstered furniture and clothing containing filling materials is regulated under the state’s Bedding, Upholstered Furniture and Quilted Clothing Inspection Act.

SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulations that may impact on their business. SafeGuardS 121.24 provides useful links to full details of the Notice of Exemption and the Utah Bedding, Upholstered Furniture and Quilted Clothing Inspection Act.
