DTPA Compliance for Products Marked “Made in USA”

Salesing.com offers search filters that specifically enable users to seek out products that are made in the United States, which are specifically labeled “Made in the USA” or “Made in America.” Vendors who label their products as such must ensure full compliance with the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA), as further described in Texas Business and Commerce Code §17.46 with respect to the appropriate labeling and marketing of these products so as to not misrepresent the products’ origins. This implies that the product should be substantially made, manufactured, or assembled within the United States. By listing products under the “Made in the USA” or “Made in America” categories, vendors agree to hold Salesing LLC, as well as its employees, agents, representatives, and assigns harmless against any claims, losses, or legal actions arising from false or misleading labels. Failure to adhere to these requirements may subject the vendor to account review, potential termination, and possible legal repercussions as mandated by the DTPA.
