Good Housekeeping Seal

What it is

A seal from Good Housekeeping, which says scientists in the Good Housekeeping Institute evaluate products that apply for it, and which calls it a limited warranty Seal.

Who runs it

Good Housekeeping and its Institute. The magazine’s site describes itself as part of Hearst. It is a publisher’s program, not a government standard.

What it does not promise

As the Seal page describes it, the promise is about defects: if a product bearing the Seal proves defective within two years of first sale, Good Housekeeping says it will refund the purchase price up to a stated cap or repair or replace the product. The page does not describe the Seal as a measure of size, depth or fit, and the listing that names it gives none of the Seal’s terms.

One listing in this catalog names the Seal. Its terms are the publisher’s and are summarized here only as the Seal page gives them.
