OVER A DECADE WITH CHINA

Accoring to the Federal Trade Commission, “Made in the USA” means that all or virtually all” the product has been made in America. That is, all siginificant parts, processing, and labor that go into the product must be of

US ORIGIN !

OVER A DECADE OF LIES?

HOW CAN IT GET ANY WORSE?

"We implemented this PURPOSELY to keep others from mocking our products."

We easily found at least 20 companies that get the same product from the same suppliers as they do. Would you call that an "original product"?
