The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by My Pillow Hi, I m Michael J. Lindell, Inventor, Manufacturer, and CEO of MyPillow , Inc. Years ago, like you, I found myself extremely frustrated with my pillow going flat. Most pillows are designed to break down. I would wake up in the morning with a sore arm, my neck would hurt, my fingers would be numb, I would toss and turn all night not knowing why. I tried many different pillows on the market and none of them worked. So, I started to research pillows and study sleep disorders. I was adamant about creating the world s healthiest, comfortable, most durable pillow. For 10 years I had been on the entrepreneurial roller coaster and have persevered through many obstacles and setbacks. I have been told this idea of mine would never work more times than I can count. I have also been told to sell out, make it overseas, etc. My passion would never allow me to do that. Today, I m proud to provide each and every one of you with the opportunity to experience for yourself what was once said to be impossible. I manufacture each MyPillow in my home state of Minnesota with materials that have all been made right here in the U.S.A! I directly employ over 600 hundred people while also supporting other American owned companies. I provide unprecedented customer service in house, so each call is handled exactly the way I would handle it myself. I truly believe MyPillow is the best pillow in the world, and that if everyone had one, they would get better sleep, and the world would be a better place |
