The Utah-based clothing company catchily named Lions Not Sheep loves America so much that its made plenty of hullabaloo about its clothing being made in America. So much so that a free copy of the U.S. Constitution was included in every order.
Trouble is, according to the Federal Trade Commission, the company has actually been cutting the labels off of the clothes. Those labels say made in China, (or other countries) and the company has been stamping the clothes Made In The USA. The Salt Lake Tribune reports that the owner has agreed to pay a $211,335 fine to the FTC.

(16,254 posts)This is a good example of how honesty and good business practices have absorbed illegal actions of the former guy. If the POTUS can cheat, why can't I? Nothing happens to him.
I wonder how many other clothing products have had the same violation by Trump-supported companies.

(23,297 posts)Many years ago there was a scandal involving Wal-Mart and products made overseas. Every store had 'Made in America' placards on every rack. Problem is, not one of the articles on those shelves was made here. A (real) reporter went undercover at some clothing factories in Malaysia or someplace and pretended to be a buyer. The factory manager told him he could put whatever label the buyer wanted on the clothing.
