FTC Launches Made-in-USA Crackdown on Deceptive Origin Claims
FTC launches a Made-in-USA enforcement sweep, filing complaints against TouchTunes for falsely claiming its electronic dartboards were US-made despite imported components; Americana Liberty LLC and Three Nations LLC for patriotic flags advertised as Made in the USA when parts were abroad; and Oak Street Manufacturing/Oak Street Bootmakers for footwear not all-US-made due to overseas components, with settlements totaling $867,743 and injunctions against misrepresentations plus required disclosures; closing letters issued to Marketing Holders and Lamar Trailers after remedial actions. The actions follow a presidential executive order and reinforce truthful advertising and fair competition for domestically produced goods.
