They are not making it easier up here either. We saw this coming from down south. Maybe thats why Imported Beds from China are increasing... Lets thank L&P for killing another industry in North America. Matteress were one of the only domestically produces goods left. Why not target finished beds?

Your case is additional evidence of the material harm that L&P's actions are bringing to small American manufacturers. The law firm that is handling the case for importers is Troutman & Sanders. I'm not sure which office though clearly we need to write an update piece to this story. I don't want to out-scoop an affiliate blog but over on www.spendmatters.com, there will be another piece on this case, in the coming days. In short answer to your suggestion on making your voice heard, tactically speaking, the more comments, discussion and folks that are writing, talking about this, the better. I'll aim for an update piece later this week/early next week. Thanks for your comments! LAR Thanks for your comments.

Here is what the anti-dumping lawsuit is doing to the mattress industry at the ground level. Importers of spring feel that should Leggett & Platt win the lawsuit the duties will be imposed retro-active to the date the USITC voted to move forward. I'm not sure of the date but believe it to be either Feb 12th or 22nd. Importers have chosen to stop selling springs because they don't know what they can sell them at in order to cover ,as yet ,undetermined import duties. This is crippling to the entire industry of small manufaturers who are dependent on imported springs to compete with the major mattress manufacturers, who get superior discounts from Leggett & Platt. Do you have any suggestions as to how we can make our voices heard before this suit is won by default? Time is of the essence and is too valuable be spent on jousting at windmills. Larry Hello Lisa,

Try Spiller Spring, I understand they might be more competitive and the quality is good. As for this anti-dumping case, we plan to publish monthly updates. If you receive any additional information from your suppliers, please feel free to share it with us. In the meantime, we plan on talking to our customs expert to get their perspective on the case. We'll cover this until the end. Best of luck to you! LAR Hi Scott. Try Spiller Spring, I understand they might be more competitive and the quality is good.
