MANUFACTURING CLAIMS -
MADE IN THE USA
By Allison B. Kontur
With so much talk about reviving U.S. manufacturing and

creating new jobs, more companies are advertising their
products as Made in USA to draw in customers. Given a
choice between a product made in the U.S. and the same
product made overseas, 78% of Americans would rather
buy the American product, according to a new survey by
the Consumer Reports National Research Center. [1]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is responsible for

preventing deception and unfairness in the marketplace.
The FTC Act gives the Commission the power to bring law
