- Advertising Review:
On August 4, 2023, BBB mailed a letter to the company's President, Michael Parry, with a request to provide documentation to support their "Made in the USA" claim on their website, as well as the statement "" We proudly manufacture all of our products in the USA specifically TN and GA."
Section 37 of BBB's Code of Advertising, which can be viewed at bbb.org/code-of-advertising, outlines guidelines for "Made in USA" claims and states the following:
"37. “Made in USA” Claims
37.1 “Made in USA” and similar terms used to describe the origin of a product must be truthful and substantiated.
37.2 An advertiser must not express or imply that a product or product line is exclusively “Made in USA” unless all or virtually all of the product is made in the U.S. All significant parts and processing that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. That is, the product should contain no — or negligible — foreign content.
37.3 Advertisers can refer to products that are manufactured with foreign components as “Assembled in USA,” if the product's principal assembly and last substantial transformation was completed in the U.S.
37.4 Qualified “Made in USA” claims, for example, “60% U.S. content,” “Made in U.S. of U.S. and imported parts,” are appropriate for products that are manufactured or have been substantially assembled domestically. However, advertisers must avoid making these claims if a significant amount of assembly or material of the product was not completed in the U.S. Qualified “Made in USA” claims, like unqualified claims, must be truthful and substantiated."On August 14, 2023, BBB received a written statement which was signed by Mr. Parry, which said: "All statements are accurate." BBB sent additional correspondence to Mr. Parry at Stone Technologies Corp on August 31, 2023, requesting that the company provide the locations of their Tennessee and Georgia operations to allow BBB to document substantiation of their advertising. While BBB did receive a response from Mr. Parry dated September 8, 2023, it did not include the locations that were requested by BBB.
