The Federal Trade Commission announced a consent order and six-figure monetary penalty Tuesday with motocross and all-terrain vehicle parts maker Cycra over the company’s false “Made in the USA” claims.

The FTC said from 2019 through at least last May 31, Cycra displayed the U.S. flag and the words “Made in the USA” on product pages online, and on the labels of its wares. But the agency said Cycra received shipments of parts and accessories from Asia and Europe.

In at least two other instances, fully finished products actually made in Taiwan were sold by Cycra as American-made products. For qualified claims, Cycra will have to disclose exactly how many foreign parts are contained, or how much foreign assembly was used in the manufacture of a product sold as American-made.
