The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has directed Amazon and Walmart to intensify efforts to prevent third-party sellers on their online marketplaces from making deceptive "Made in USA" claims. This action aligns with the FTC's enforcement of laws protecting consumers and businesses from false labeling regarding American-made products, especially during "Made in the USA Month." The FTC has warned companies to comply strictly with "Made in USA" requirements. Additionally, there is growing attention on the FTC’s labeling rules, with expectations of renewed regulatory focus. In a related development, new federal and state regulations are set to make it easier for consumers, particularly in New York, to cancel unwanted online subscriptions by requiring companies to eliminate barriers to ending services or products.

Since the court's are ruling here on some aspect of FTC procedure, this seems like a good topic to organize a push for legislation around — it should be easy to cancel subscriptions! Businesses that behave ethically in this regard shouldn't be put at a disadvantage. https://t.co/gcSWSirIqN
