'Fur' or 'Faux'? Test Your Products with BLC
At BLC, we can test many types of consumer products for authenticity to determine whether the leather and fur content is real or faux.
The issue of real fur being marketed and sold as faux fur in the UK and Europe has gained more recent exposure to the general public through Sunday's broadcast of the BBC Countryfile television programme in the UK.
At BLC, we are urging brands, retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to carry out regular and independent product verification as part of a structured due diligence testing programme.
