The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on Tuesday called on retail giants Amazon (AMZN.O) and Walmart (WMT.N) to crack down on third-party sellers using deceptive "Made in USA" labels in online markets. The FTC said in a letter that it had learned of instances where third-party sellers falsely claimed their products were made in the USA. The FTC urged both companies to take "corrective actions" against sellers violating federal laws by using the "Made in USA" label and violating Amazon and Walmart's policies. Four smaller retailers also received warning letters from the FTC, demanding they cease advertising as "Made in USA" unless they can prove that "all or virtually all" of the products in question are made in the USA.
