Check with the FTC. 'Assembled in America' and 'Manufactured in America' state and mean two very different things.

I won't applaud it until it is actually about bringing real jobs back to the US and not just to counter a problem with Chinese manufacturing. Nor will I applaud a hood-winking where 'Assembled in America' does not mean what everyone thinks and wants it to mean.
