The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warned Walmart and Amazon regarding third-party online sellers who may be selling merchandise falsely labeled as made in the United States, according to a July 8 statement.
The agency also sent letters to four other companies—flagpole retailer Americana Liberty; footwear maker Oak Street Manufacturing, LLC; personal care products manufacturer USA Big Mountain Paper Inc.; and football equipment company Pro Sports Group LLC—reminding them to comply with the FTC’s “Made in USA” (MUSA) requirements.
