OMI’s Bader named to advisory council

Walt Bader, president of Organic Mattresses Inc. in Yuba City, Calif., has been named to the California Department of Consumer Affairs Advisory Council. The department’s Bureau of Home Furnishings and Thermal Insulation enforces the state’s home furnishings and thermal insulation laws, as well as health and safety standards for mattresses and upholstered furniture. It also investigates consumer complaints and fraudulent marketing claims. “I hope that my involvement will help stave off and mitigate further state and federal regulations by improving the accuracy of information provided to mattress consumers,” Bader said.
