WASHINGTON - The FTC closed the probe without
action after Wal-Mart dropped all "Made in USA"
logos from products on its website, the FTC said in
a letter to the company that was posted on the
agency's website.
Wal-Mart has since redesigned its "Made in USA"
logos for some products to better indicate how
much of the product was made domestically and
how much was made overseas, the FTC noted in
its letter.
"Based on your actions and other factors, the staff
has decided not to pursue this investigation any
further," FTC staff attorney Julia Solomon Ensor
wrote in the letter.
The problem arose as Wal-Mart sought to fulfill a
pledge made in 2013 to buy an extra $250 billion
in U.S.-made goods over a decade to support U.S.
manufacturing jobs.
