On July 1, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chairman, Andrew Ferguson, designated July as “‘Made in the USA’ Month.” A week later on July 8, FTC sent warning letters to four companies, reminding them to comply with FTC’s 2021 Made in USA Labeling Rule (MUSA Labeling Rule).
FTC also sent letters to Amazon and Walmart regarding allegedly deceptive MUSA claims made by third-party sellers on their e-commerce websites. Among the products targeted by FTC were whiskey glasses and pasta serving utensils. Significantly, food products are subject to the same MUSA standard.
