It was common practice for clothing manufacturers to import clothes, sew on a label (which said "made in USA"), and then sell them as American-made.
They claimed that they "manufactured" them by assembling pre-assembled sub-assemblies -- ie, shirt and label. Yes, it was deemed "legal."
So, there is probably a legal line somewhere, but it's a really fuzzy line.

It is misleading advertising. The company could be charged.

I would think it is, it is deception and misleading to the public consumer. If you have knowledge of something like this report it to your consumer affairs association..

perhaps they consider it puffery.
they can own a small percentage in the company-even in a foreign country-so they can lie-with a straight face.

That would probably be labeled as fraud.
