USA MADE mark

[Tom.]

I think “USA Made” is meaningless. From what I know, the FTC standard applies to “Made in USA”, which can only used if there is none or negligible foreign content.

Can you explain what this mean?

 

[ShortChangeHero]

Yup. Another defined, but lower than “Made in USA”, standard.

They are half way there. Lenses should still be made in the US, just not the frame and unobtainium.

This is not a precise description, but one of the Federal Trade Commission's purposes is to protect American consumers. This includes "country-of-origin" claims, to which consumers attach value. The FTC can, and does, force companies that make fraudulent "Made in USA" claims to stop the practice. For example, a company will be forced to remove the label from their product.

Here's the Federal Trade Commission site defining "Made in USA" and "Assembled in USA". To be "Made in USA" means virtually all content is manufactured in the US and the end product is actually assembled in the US.

There is no standard for "USA Made". In other words, the label is meaningless. It's just Suxxotica's attempt to dupe consumers. They aren't the only ones.

Hi, it was nice to see this USA MADE mark on my Sapphire Turbine Rotors! I hope more Oakleys return to being made in the USA. Has anyone else come across this mark on their sunnies?

yes, should. But no way of knowing for sure, right?

Unless we find an employee to give us the inside scoop. Maybe lux is changing things to the old ways, they have to be taking a hit with all the crap they are releasing.

Whatever hit they're taking, it's not to their stock price--- which is all that matters to them.
