Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To 

Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) has accepted, 

subject to final approval, an agreement 

containing a consent order from Made 

in the USA Brand, LLC. (‘‘Respondent’’). 

The proposed consent order has been 

placed on the public record for thirty 

(30) days for receipt of comments by 

interested persons. Comments received 

during this period will become part of 

the public record. After thirty (30) days, 

the Commission will again review the 

agreement and the comments received, 

and will decide whether it should 

withdraw from the agreement or make 

final the agreement’s proposed order. 

This matter involves Respondent’s 

marketing, sale, and distribution of 

licenses to use its ‘‘Made in USA’’ 

certification mark to companies wishing 

to make U.S.-origin claims for their 

products. According to the FTC’s 

complaint, Respondent represented that 

products and entities using 

Respondent’s certification mark were 

independently and objectively 

evaluated for compliance with 

Respondent’s accreditation standard. 

These claims were false or misleading. 

Additionally, the complaint alleges that 

Respondent did not possess and rely 

upon a reasonable basis to substantiate 

its claims that entities promoted on its 

Web site sold products that are all or 

virtually all made in the United States. 

In fact, in numerous instances, entities 

promoted on Respondent’s Web site 

have sold products containing 

significant imported content. Finally, 

the complaint alleges that Respondent 

distributed promotional materials to 

third-party marketers for use in the 

marketing and sale of those third 

parties’ products, providing the means 

and instrumentalities to those marketers 

to commit deceptive acts or practices. 

Accordingly, the complaint concludes 

that Respondent engaged in deceptive 

acts or practices in violation of Section 

5(a) of the FTC Act. 

The proposed consent order contains 

provisions designed to prevent 

Respondent from engaging in similar 

acts and practices in the future. 

Specifically, Part I prohibits Respondent 

from representing, expressly or by 

implication, that covered entities meet 

Respondent’s accreditation standard, 

unless: (1) An entity with no material 

connection to that covered entity 

conducted an independent and 

objective evaluation to confirm that the 

accreditation standard was met; or (2) 

Respondent’s mark and marketing 

materials prominently disclose that the 

accreditation standard may be met 

through self-certification. 

Part II prohibits Respondent from 

making any country of origin claim 

about a product authorized to use 

Respondent’s certification mark unless: 

(1) The claim is true, not misleading, 

and Respondent has a reasonable basis 

substantiating the representation; or (2) 

for representations made through use of 

Respondent’s certification mark, 

Respondents clearly and prominently 

disclose that covered entities may meet 

the accreditation standard through selfcertification. 

Part III prohibits Respondent from 

providing third-party retailers with the 

means and instrumentalities to make the 

claims prohibited in Part I. 

Parts IV through VIII are reporting and 

compliance provisions. Part IV requires 

Respondent to keep and make available 

to the Commission on request: Copies of 

advertisements, labeling, packaging, and 

promotional materials containing the 

representations identified in Parts I and 

II; materials relied upon in 

disseminating those representations; 

evidence that contradicts, qualifies, or 

calls into question the representations 

or the basis relied upon for the 

representations; and all 

acknowledgments of receipt of the 

Order. Part V requires Respondent to 

disseminate the Order to principals, 

officers, directors, and managers, and to 

all current and future employees, 

agents, and representatives having 

responsibilities relating to the subject 

matter of the order. Part VI requires 

notification to the FTC of changes in 

Respondent’s corporate status. Part VII 

requires Respondent to submit an initial 

compliance report to the FTC within 

sixty (60) days of service and 

subsequent reports upon request. 

Finally, Part VIII is a ‘‘sunset’’ 

provision, terminating the order after 

twenty (20) years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to aid 

public comment on the proposed order. 

It is not intended to constitute an 

official interpretation of the proposed 

order or to modify its terms in any way. 

By direction of the Commission. 

Donald S. Clark, 

Secretary.
