Made In America MovieMade in America - Consumer Reports. Renewed pride in American manufacturing has made it more fashionable—and profitable—for companies to wax patriotic in their advertising, even when the claims are far from bona fide. We see many goods which say ‘Made in the USA,’ but they’re actually made in China,” says Hal Sirkin, a senior partner at The Boston Consulting Group, global- management consultants. The federal government’s “Made in USA” standards empower the Federal Trade Commission to take action against companies that make false or misleading claims.

Most complaints come from competing companies, who can best determine if a product is truly made in the U. S.,” Ensor says. “It’s very difficult for the typical consumer to know if a claim is true or not.”It doesn’t help that the FTC standards allow companies to design their own labels, unlike the federal Energy Star program, for example, with its distinctive blue label that’s a recognized mark of energy efficiency.

How to recognize imports. Given the vagaries of “Made in the USA” labeling, another strategy is to look for a “Country of Origin” mark, which Customs and Border Protection require on all imported products.

With gas grills, the sticker can be found on the back of the metal frame or cart.
