Made in America…
It seems like most times when I pay attention or notice where things are made, it is frequently “Made in China” or “Product of Mexico”. What is actually made in the US, and how is it determined where something is made when the parts for one item may come from all different companies? 
According to msnbc.com a product “Made in America” has to be all or virtually all produced in the United States. The Federal Trade Commission uses up nearly 40 pages to explain what is required to label a product with this title.
To wear the American label, the product must be assembled and majority of the costs associated with producing the product must have incurred in the United States. If a product was made in several different states, one of them being the US, the consumers may be able to see this in a couple of different ways. The product may show the percentage of the content that was made in the U.S., or it can be stated on the product “Made in USA from imported parts”, or “Assembled in the USA”.
If a company gets caught making an untrue “Made in America” claim, the FTC will get an order forcing you to stop making that claim – there is potential for a heavy fine for each infraction. The FTC relies on consumers to “tip them off” to these infractions on their Complaint Assistant Web site.
