Made in U.S.A.

See Made in U.S.A. Confusing no? Should we merge Made in USA + Made in U.S.A. into one disambiguation page with all Made in "U.S.A." and "USA" articles? ---Majestic- 18:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I would say yes..Made in USA needs to be a disambiguation page, the most common use of the term has to do with country of origin labeling and there are several albums with this title. Dragomiloff 00:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I have done so, both Made in USA and Made in U.S.A. point to the country of origin article with disambiguation for the albums and films. Made in U.S.A. (film), Made in U.S.A. (Beach Boys), Made in USA (Sonic Youth) Made In USA Brand & Product. This is obviously how it should be. Fourdee 08:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Other issues

There is also the issue of things being made outside of the generalized US, but in commonwealths and such like Saipan instead, where corporations can put a "Made in USA" label on while still paying slave wages. The whole issue of sweatshops was left out in the marketing section which disturbed me. Just another example of us Americans only thinking of how things affect us. Anyways, I added a bit about appealing to the anti-sweatshop croud in next to the concerns over outsourcing. Someone else might want to address the concerns about commonwealths and territories that aren't technically in the US. Ungovernable Force^{Got something to say?} 06:21, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Humor :)

I recently saw a label that said

Distributed with pride in the U.S.

Removal

Substantial misinformation removed. The Made in USA section cited an FTC proposal that would have allowed things with 75% US content to be sold as "Made in USA" ... this was a proposal and never became practice, now we have to guess what "all or substantially all" means.

What is the legal percentage?

I bought some clippers the other day from WalMart that says "Made in the USA". Upon in inspection, everything says "Made in China" on it. So what was made in the USA? The box? The company said that 50% of the Chinese parts were assembled in the USA. New Balance shoes brags about Made in the USA on their site and explains that "Up to 30% of this product was either assembled or marked in the USA." None of these statements are proper English. How are they within legal propriety? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.155.130.147 (talk) 18:30, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Additions

Hi all,

I plan on adding a section on operational significance, and adding to the marketing significance section. I am going to highlight financial and non-financial benefits to producing in the USA. If anyone has any feedback or thoughts on what I am working on, please let me know. Thank you. Farley.ty (talk) 21:26, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
