I was looking at something today and walmart and noticed this for one of the products:



Assembled in Country of Origin: USA and/or Imported
Origin of Components: USA and/or Imported



Where else could it be from?

Just for info:

Lots of products labelled "Made in USA" are made in the US Pacific Territories like the Marshall Islands.

This allows the Made in USA label to be attached but most of the work is done by Bangladeshi laborers at sweatshop wages. Often these people are lured by the opportunity to work in the US, but wind up in Federated Micronesia.
