§ 607-a. Storage of furs. In addition to any other provision of this

article, a fur storage operator shall be subject to the following:

storage, the fur storage operator, for purposes of compliance with the

contained in this subdivision shall diminish any existing duty of care

which the fur storage operator owes to the consumer bailor.

warehouseman whose storage business is limited to furs and other items

of valuable clothing and furs means articles of wearing apparel intended
