They added that "except by consumer" part recently. When I was a kid they didn't say that, which led to all the jokes about ripping off the tag.

We need to get tough on crime. Heinous crimes like mattress tag rippers get the chair.

What is "recently"? I'm 43 and they've said "except by consumer" since I was a kid.
