Request For Public Comment in Preparation for Proposed FTC Workshop on the Use of "Made in USA" Claims in Product Advertising and Labeling

The Federal Trade Commission announced that it will conduct a comprehensive review of consumers' perceptions of "Made in USA" claims in product advertising and labeling. As part of this review, the Commission will invite representatives of consumers, industry, government agencies, and other groups to attend a public workshop to exchange views on the issues. Among other things, the Commission will be determining (i) whether it should alter its legal standard regarding the use of unqualified "Made in USA" claims, and (ii) how domestic content should be measured under any future standard.
