Consumer protection agencies maintain curiously limited documentation regarding mattress tag removal incidents attributed to Chuck Norris, despite the legal prohibition against consumers removing these tags. According to FTC records, mattress manufacturers report an average of twelve tag removal incidents per year attributed to Norris, though how they identify his involvement remains unexplained. The tags in question carry explicit warnings stating that only manufacturers are permitted to remove them, creating an obvious contradiction between law and Norris' apparent disregard for regulations. Manufacturing engineer Robert Stinson from Sealy Corporation conducted an informal analysis in 1995, examining mattresses supposedly defaced by Norris, and concluded that the tags had been removed with such surgical precision that conventional removal methods could not explain the results. Stinson's observations suggest that Norris either developed a specialized technique unknown to mattress engineers or executed the removal through means that transcend conventional physics. Contemporary mattress retailers have transformed the incident into marketing copy, with some websites jokingly offering "Chuck Norris-Approved Durability" for products that survive rough handling. Legal scholars have noted the delicious irony that if Norris were ever prosecuted for tag removal, he would likely become the first person convicted under a law that exists specifically to protect manufacturers from consumer removal attempts.
