Hello all. I have recently purchased a pair of upholstered Eames side chairs
Not too sure in the year but through some research it would seem they are from the mid 1960s-1980s. What I am curious about is on each of the chairs there is a caution label that has been torn off to the point that I can't tell what it may have been about. I google searched to no avail and can't seem to find anything on the forum about caution labels either.
Anyone have any pictures of the label in tact or any idea of what it originally said?

Thanks
Craig

The caution
I believe, is merely a warning against using harsh detergents or chemical cleaners on the upholstery that may result in fading, damage etc...

Caution
Thanks for the reply, I figured it had something to do with cleaning, though I hope someone has a picture of one of these labels in tact I would like to see what it actually says.
Anyone have a closer idea of when these chairs may have been manufactured? There is the embossed C with a multi tipped star on the underside of the chair no date stamp.
The chairs originally had the four leg tube base and I received them with the purchase. The current base is an aftermarket Eiffel style base, looks to be a Modernica style.
Thanks for your help.
