Plain-language change summary

The amendment changes the requirements for how upholstered products must be constructed. It replaces the previous specification of needing both a contiguous upholstered seat and either a back or arm with a broader condition that allows for an upholstered seat, back, or arm. This matters because it could increase design flexibility for manufacturers while ensuring compliance with safety standards related to flammability as outlined in the Consumer Product Safety Act.
