Deceptive “Made in USA” Claims, What Consumers Need to Know
The phrase “Made in USA” carries a powerful meaning. For many consumers, it represents quality, safety, jobs, and a sense of pride in supporting American workers. Companies know this, which is why “Made in USA” and similar origin claims are frequently used in marketing and packaging. Unfortunately, not all of these claims are truthful. Some businesses exploit the label to gain an unfair advantage, misleading consumers into believing a product is fully American-made when it is not.
