NE Kansas | I would make sure of the Made in USA label. Here is a wiki and FTC website for more info.

From FTC website: What factors does the Commission consider to determine whether a product is "all or virtually all" made in the U.S.?
Example: A company produces propane barbecue grills at a plant in Nevada. The product’s major components include the gas valve, burner and aluminum housing, each of which is made in the U.S. The grill’s knobs and tubing are imported from Mexico. An unqualified Made in USA claim is not likely to be deceptive because the knobs and tubing make up a negligible portion of the product’s total manufacturing costs and are insignificant parts of the final product.
Where Made in USA may not be so true. http://www.ftc.gov/opp/madeusa2/21175935.1.htm
Just google ftc made in usa labels fraud
Example: A table lamp is assembled in the U.S. from American-made brass, an American-made Tiffany-style lampshade, and an imported base. The base accounts for a small percent of the total cost of making the lamp. An unqualified Made in USA claim is deceptive for two reasons: The base is not far enough removed in the manufacturing process from the finished product to be of little consequence and it is a significant part of the final product. | |
