Penalty Amount
$867,743
The FTC announced three separate settlements with companies making false 'Made in USA' claims: TouchTunes (electronic dartboards, $625k consumer redress), Americana Liberty and related parties (flags and flagpoles, $167,743 redress), and Oak Street Bootmakers (footwear, $75k redress). The companies violated the FTC Act, Made in USA Labeling Rule, and for Americana Liberty, the Textile Act and Rules, by making unqualified origin claims for products with significant imported components or wholly imported from China. Each settlement prohibits future misrepresentations of U.S. origin and requires consumer notices.
Total of $867,743 in consumer redress across the three actions; prohibitions on misrepresenting U.S.-origin or making unsubstantiated country-of-origin claims; requirements to provide consumer notices of the settlements; Americana Liberty’s order additionally mandates textile fiber product disclosures. Orders are stipulated consent decrees pending District Court approval.
In-house legal teams should review all vendor, supplier, and customer-facing agreements for companies marketing products as Made in USA to ensure compliance with FTC origin claim standards. Key clauses to review include advertising and marketing representations, requiring vendors to certify that products meet the 'all or virtually all' domestic standard and disclose all imported components. For textile products, agreements must include clauses mandating compliance with Textile Act labeling requirements, including mandatory country-of-origin disclosures on products and marketing materials. Include indemnification clauses covering losses from false advertising claims, audit rights to verify supply chain origin claims, and requirements for vendors to provide documentation supporting origin representations. Customer terms should prohibit unqualified Made in USA claims without proper substantiation.
