Today’s action furthers the Commission’s ongoing work to ensure products claimed to be made in the United States are actually supporting American workers, manufacturing and communities.In March, President Donald J. Trump issued an Executive Order, “Ensuring Truthful Advertising of Products Claiming to be made in America,” directing the Commission to prioritize enforcement actions over unlawful “Made in USA” claims.In April, the Commission announced three law enforcement actions settling allegations that sellers of American flag products, footwear and electronic dartboards violated Section 5 of the FTC Act, Section 45a and the Made in USA Labeling Rule. The firms agreed to stop making unlawful “Made in USA” claims and to pay redress to injured consumers.Such law enforcement actions also ensure that American businesses, who have made the necessary investments in domestic manufacturing, are not disadvantaged by bad actors and that there is fair competition for those sellers who truthfully advertise their products as made in the United States.Today’s letters were sent to A&F Drum Company LLC, Z-Tech Advanced Technologies Inc., Vtron Inc., Helmel Engineering Products Inc., NebTech Inc., Lucky Bar Holdings LLC and My Vape Order Inc.
