Seed laws are covered individually by each State. If I recall, many States do not have a minimum requirement for seeds offered for sale, but they DO require seeds to undergo regular germination testing and have proper/current labeling of the germination rate.
I guess they figure if consumers are stupid enough to buy seeds labelled with a 10% germination rate ... at least they were warned.
