Part 1 - What does "Made in the USA" really mean, and how does one know whether the many parts that go into assembling a product are actually all made in the United States? The Federal Trade Commission has issued a "Made in the USA" standard to enforce origin claims by companies in advertising and labeling. Search the FTC site and document on complying with the "Made in the USA" standard and discuss the factors determined by the FTC as to whether a product is "all or virtually all" made in the United States.(at least 1 page)
