FTC Order Requires Pyrex Glass Manufacturer to Pay for Falsely Claiming Chinese Products Were Made in USA
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On 1/18/2023 the business entered a consent agreement with The Federal Trade Commission. The Assurance settles allegations that the business falsely claimed that their Pyrex brand glass measuring cups were made in the United States during a time some measuring cups were imported from China. Under the terms of the Assurance, the business agreed to not make any representation that a product is Made in the United States unless the final assembly is completed and all materials used are made and sourced in the United States. The business agreed not to make any misleading representation regarding the country of origin of any product or service. Business also agreed to pay $129,416 to the Commission. The Assurance was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law. For more details go to this link here:
Update: On Oct 1, 2024, FTC announces they will be sending more than $88,000 in refunds to consumers who bought Chinese-made measuring cups marketed as “Made in USA” by Instant Brands, the maker of Pyrex-brand kitchen and home products. For more information please click the link here:
