§ 250.9 - Misuse of the terms “floor sample”, “discontinued model”, etc.

(a) Representations that furniture is a “floor sample”, “demonstration piece”, etc., should not be used to describe “trade-in”, repossessed, rented, or any furniture except that displayed for inspection by prospective purchasers at the place of sale for the purpose of determining their preference and its suitability for their use.

(b) Furniture should not be described as “discontinued” or “discontinued model” unless the manufacturer has in fact discontinued its manufacture or the industry member offering it for sale will discontinue offering it entirely after clearance of his existing inventories of furniture so described.
