FTC maintains that, by distributing promotional materials containing misrepresentations regarding the U.S. origin of their products, the company and officer provided trade customers the \u201cmeans and instrumentalities\u201d to commit deceptive acts or practices.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Lessons Learned from the Consent Order Under Public Comment<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Consent Order is a learning point for other companies that are assessing their own Origin Statement and whether it is products are qualified to use the \u201cMade in USA\u201d claim. The Consent Order has provisions that are meant to prevent the company and officer in this case from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future based on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/public-statements\/1997\/12\/enforcement-policy-statement-us-origin-claims\">FTC&#8217;s Enforcement Policy Statement on U.S. Origin Claims<\/a>. The following is a summary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/system\/files\/documents\/cases\/2020-08-07_analysis_of_proposed_consent_order_to_aid_public_comment.pdf\">Consent Order <\/a>and lessons learned:<\/p>\n<p>Part I prohibits the violators from making U.S. origin claims for their products unless the product meets the &#8220;all or virtually all&#8221; standard or uses qualifying U.S. origin claims or has been substantially transformed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(1) The final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States;<\/li>\n<li>(2) a clear and conspicuous qualification appears immediately adjacent to the representation that accurately conveys the extent to which the product contains foreign parts, ingredients or components, and\/or processing; or<\/li>\n<li>(3) for a claim that a product is assembled in the United States, the product is last substantially transformed in the United States, the product&#8217;s principal assembly takes place in the United States, and United States assembly operations are substantial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lessons Learned<\/em>: Ensure you comply with the\u00a0\u201c<em>Made in the USA\u201d\u00a0<\/em> Use this previously published <a href=\"https:\/\/diaztradelaw.com\/is-made-in-the-usa-really-made-in-the-usa\/\">blog on the Made in the USA\u00a0standard<\/a> for tips on how to compliantly label product with \u201cMade in the USA\u201d claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Part II prohibits the violators from making any country-of-origin claim about a product or service unless the claim is true, not misleading, and violators have a reasonable basis substantiating the representation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lessons Learned<\/em>:Ensure you have a reasonable basis substantiating the representation being made. Products bearing unqualified &#8220;Made in USA&#8221; claims should contain only a\u00a0<em>de minimis<\/em>, or negligible, amount of foreign content. There is no single &#8220;bright line&#8221; to establish when a product is or is not &#8220;all or virtually all&#8221; made in the United States. The Commission turns to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/public-statements\/1997\/12\/enforcement-policy-statement-us-origin-claims\">factors<\/a> such as:\n<ul>\n<li>Whether the final assembly or processing of the product took place in the United States.<\/li>\n<li>The portion of the product&#8217;s total manufacturing costs that are attributable to U.S. parts and processing; and<\/li>\n<li>How far removed from the finished product any foreign content is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Part III prohibits violators from providing third parties with the means and instrumentalities to make the claims prohibited in Parts I or II.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lessons Learned<\/em>: In this case, the FTC\u2019s heavily relied on the means and instrumentalities provided to third parties and manufacturers used to market the product as Made in the USA as these marketing tools were direct evidence of the deceptive acts or practices undertaken.

Part IV imposes a judgment of $1,200,000. Part V includes additional monetary provisions relating to collections. Part VI requires the violators to provide sufficient customer information to enable the Commission to administer consumer redress, if appropriate. Part VII requires violators to identify and notify certain third-party trade customers of the FTC&#8217;s action and submit reports to the FTC regarding their notification program.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Lessons Learned<\/em>: Not only will this company be forced to potentially pay the largest settlement amount in the history of FTC judgements; also the company\u2019s tarnished reputation may result in a negative impact on its resources, business, long-term profitability; especially when the tarnished reputation must be shown to customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Parts VIII through XI are reporting and compliance provisions, requiring violators to provide a copy of the order to certain current and future principals, officers, directors, and employees. Part IX requires annual compliance reports be filed with the FTC.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Take Away<\/em>: This order goes beyond a monetary sanction as the FTC is clearly acting against this repeat offender to set an example and discourage other company employees from engaging in similar unlawful acts; especially by charging an officer individually.

The FTC has launched the Made in USA fraud program and is targeting large companies. While for decades, there was bipartisan consensus at the FTC that Made in USA fraud should not be penalized; in 1994, Congress authorized the FTC to impose penalties and damages for Made in USA fraud. In 2020, Williams-Sonoma was required to pay $1 million to the FTC for Made in USA deceptive practices and now Chemence is facing a 1.2 million penalty.
