No attachment came through.  Back when I was in the industry, items 
couldn't be sold in the US without the proper labeling, or stickers.  No 
problem.  Stickers could be bought on spools by the tens of thousands of 
miles online, and you want a UL, CE, FCC labeling on the product, 
"permanently affixed", if I recall correctly from the regulations, well 
that was an extra tooling fee of a few bucks, and everything off the 
line will have whatever you want molded into it, not because it meant 
anything, but because it was a step in the requirements to sell in the 
US.  We had the option of sending our own text, or could choose from 
pre-made examples, some with spelling, and grammatical errors.  I think 
the difference between "certified", "legal", "safe", "compliant", et 
cetera, came out to about $3 per run in the end.  This was in the 20-30 
years ago range.
