Any person who shall cause or participate in the removal or mutilation of any stamp, tag, label, or other means of identification affixed to a wood (FOOTNOTE 1) product with intent to violate the provisions of this subchapter, is guilty of an unfair method of competition, and an unfair and deceptive act or practice, in commerce within the meaning of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.).
(FOOTNOTE 1) So in original. Probably should be "wool".
