A product can be falsely labeled as "Made in USA" if the product or its components are not entirely made in the United States.

Can the packaging say made in the USA but the filter inside be made elsewhere ?



Edit... Can the packaging be made here in the USA and labeled "Made In the USA" but with the actual filter be made elsewhere ?

Yep I've mentioned that I don't know how many times in different threads yet it falls on deaf ears. USA made does not mean what it used to mean. While there may be a very small percentage of US companies, the majority of the parts they use in their product comes from over seas. All they have to do is have their company in a state that allows this loop hole and they can claim "made in USA" all they want, legally, as long as they perform some small process on it, but that doesn't mean it's a USA part.
That's been going on for years and years.
