Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson has declared July 2025 as "Made in the USA" Month, coinciding with the nation's Independence Day celebrations. In his statement, Ferguson emphasized the FTC's role in enforcing laws against false claims regarding products labeled as 'Made in the USA.' He highlighted the importance of such enforcement for consumer protection and confidence.
Ferguson noted that a recent poll showed 61% of Americans consider whether a product is made domestically when making purchasing decisions. He stated, "Americans rightly believe that American-made goods are higher quality and better for the environment than foreign-produced alternatives."
The FTC aims to support companies wishing to advertise their products as 'Made in the USA' by providing an online guide. This initiative seeks to ensure compliance with regulations while promoting American manufacturing.
Ferguson described 'Made in the USA' as more than just a slogan, calling it a connection to national ingenuity and craftsmanship. He urged consumers to remember these values during Independence Month celebrations.
The FTC offers additional guidance on complying with its Made in USA Rule and continues its mission to promote competition while protecting and educating consumers. The agency provides resources for reporting fraud and staying informed about consumer issues through its website and social media channels.
