FTC Targets Companies for Misleading 'Made in USA' Labels
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has taken enforcement actions against three companies for falsely labeling their products as 'Made in USA.' These companies marketed various consumer products, including American flags, as domestically made, despite being manufactured offshore. The FTC's actions follow a March executive order aimed at tightening standards and increasing enforcement of misleading country-of-origin labeling. Under the Made in USA Labeling Rule, products must be assembled and processed in the U.S., with all significant components sourced domestically, to qualify for the label.
