Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Made in USA" in English language version.
Made in USA means that "all or virtually all" the product has been made in America. That is, all significant parts, processing, and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Products should not contain any – or should contain only negligible – foreign content.
A product that is all or virtually all made in the United States will ordinarily be one in which all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin.
The acts and practices of Respondent as alleged in this complaint constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act.
Broncs Inc., a Compton textile manufacturer, bought American Apparel's Garden Grove knitting and dyeing facility and will keep about 200 employees. Zack Hurley, chief executive of Indie Source, said he plans to hire at least a few dozen American Apparel workers for his contract manufacturing facility in downtown Los Angeles.
For the first time, however, products bearing the American Apparel name will have tags that read "Made in Honduras" and "Made in Nicaragua."
American Apparel then reopened as an online-only retailer, and by February, it swapped its "Made in USA" mantra with the phrase "Globally-Sourced," as most of its apparel is now sourced from factories based in Central America, primarily in Honduras.
