Not off topic at all...that kind of crap has been happening for decades ... another very recent example here ... https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2022/08/ftc-sues-marketer-personal-protective-equipment-light-fixtures-lying-about-products-being-made-usa

As well as ....:

The FTC found three cases where products made in China were falsely labeled as produced in the U.S. Among those products were military-themed backpacks manufactured by Sandpiper/PiperGear USA – which were actually being sold to military bases overseas. Hockey pucks from Patriot Puck were found to be imported from China and mattresses from Nectar Sleep were found to be made in China – despite being branded otherwise.

And from 2015...:

In fact, both American and Chinese consumers are willing to pay at least a 10 percent premium for “Made in USA” goods, including baby food, appliances, electronics and apparel, according to research from the Boston Consulting Group.
