Even though products that are Made in the USA are sometimes more expensive than imported products, many American consumers prefer to buy Made in the USA products, especially in today’s climate. Products that are Made in the USA help to provide jobs to Americans, promote American independence, and presumes a better quality product. Companies should be warned that if they make a claim that their products are Made in the USA, the claim needs to be true so that consumers are not deceived.
Companies and advertisers need to ensure that any “Made in USA” claims they make are not misleading, as the FTC has increased scrutiny of such claims.
