Question

I dipped a potty and after I got to my house, I saw a small sticker, should it be dipped again in the mikvah?

Answer

Labels and stickers on which the manufacturer’s details or the price of the tool are written on them are a ‘chatzitzah’, because only the seller wants them to remain on the pot, and people make sure to take off the sticker on the pot, and therefore if they are dipped together with these stickers, they should be re-immersed in the mikvah.

Although stickers located at the bottom of the pot, are not  a ‘chatzitzah’ because a person does not adhere to them, as well as stickers that are ornamental and beautiful or stickers that increase the value of the potSuch as that of a brand, are not a ‘chatzitzah’, and are part of the pot, and do not need to be removed at the time of ‘tharah’.

הגרי”ש אלישיב זצ”ל הובא בשו”ת וישמע משה ח”ב (עמ’ קצו), וכ”כ בשו”ת תשובות והנהגות ח”ב (סי’ תו) ובס’ חוט שני – להגרנ”ק זצ”ל (עמ’ נג). וע”ע בס’ מסורת משה (עמ’ רכז) בשם הגר”מ פינשטיין זצוק”ל.
