When I was little, I was completely convinced the FBI was going to come get me if I so much as thought about taking those tags off. Turns out that fear is totally unfounded (duh), and nothing happens if you take the tag off.
Those warnings are for the people who sell the products, not the consumers. Back in the early 1900s, mattresses could be stuffed with anything, even gross stuff like old rags, and the consumer wasn’t always warned. So regulations were created, and mattresses were required to have tags identifying their stuffing. As a workaround, mattress sellers started ripping those tags clean off before the public could even see them. That’s when those big, scary “DO NOT REMOVE” messages started appearing on the tags.
So, as long as you’re not in the mattress biz, you’ll be fine tearing the tag off.
What else can I help you with?

Why can't you remove the tag on your bed?
You, as a consumer, can remove the label if you wish. This is a common misconception about the labels on mattresses. There are laws regarding the removal of manufacturer labels and tags from most products, but they apply to retailers (stores), and hotels, not to you as a consumer.There are a couple of things to keep in mind before removing that label, however. If your mattress has a warranty, even just a satisfaction warranty, the warranty will become null and void if you remove the label. Or, if your mattress is a loaner or home trial mattress, and you remove it's label, you just bought it, like it or not (The reason being that the retailer cannot reloan or resell a mattress with no label).

There are several things you can do to make sure the mattress you're buying is not reconditioned. First, shop from well-known, established businesses. Federal law requires all reconditioned mattresses to be labled with a yellow tag. When in the store, ask for a new mattress, not a renovated, reconditioned, or refurbished one. If the mattress is shipped to your home, check the mattress tag with the invoice, to make sure it's the same one you saw in the store.
