Ensuring Truthful Advertising of Products Claiming To Be Made in America
AI Summary:
This regulation establishes a policy to ensure truthful advertising of products claiming to be made in America, recognizing that consumers have a right to accurate information about product origins and that businesses investing in American manufacturing deserve protection against fraudulent claims. The regulation directs the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to prioritize enforcement actions against deceptive "Made in America" claims, and to consider issuing regulations that would deem a failure by online marketplaces to verify country-of-origin claims as an unfair or deceptive practice. It also calls for agencies overseeing country-of-origin labeling to consider regulations promoting voluntary labeling and for agencies involved in government procurement to review and verify American-origin claims for products acquired through government contracts, with penalties for misrepresentation including removal from procurement and referral to the Department of Justice.
