本周二达成的和解协议公布于美国总统唐纳德·特朗普发布行政令一个月后,该行政令要求联邦贸易委员会优先处理那些利用虚假“美国制造”或“美国本土制造”噱头 targeting爱国消费者的企业。

April 14 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Trade Commission said it settled three lawsuits accusing companies of falsely claiming their products were made in the United States, including a case against a seller of American flags sourced from China.
Tuesday’s settlements were announced one month after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing the FTC to prioritize enforcement cases against companies that target patriotic consumers with bogus “Made in America” or “Made in the USA” claims.

The FTC said Americana Liberty will reimburse $167,743 to consumers after the Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based company claimed that its China-sourced flag products, which also include flagpoles and military flags, were “Made in the USA,” “All-American Made” or “Built by Americans for Americans.”
A lawyer for Americana Liberty declined to comment.
The FTC said it also settled with TouchTunes Music, a New York-based maker of electronic dart boards with components from four non-U.S. countries, and Oak Street Bootmakers, a Chicago-based maker of footwear with materials from the Dominican Republic and Brazil. They will provide $625,000 and $75,000, respectively, to consumers.
