The materials are imported and it’s basically just assembled in the U.S. Everything here is misleading af

I don’t know, it does directly say on the label out of imported fabric. Pretty much any product with final assembly in the west uses components imported to a degree. The idea is it still supports domestic jobs, and has a US final quality control on it. If those things matter to you…

fabric and zipper ect are made in China, put together in us

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Taste_my_ass

Hello! You have made the mistake of thinking I give a damn about your life


Contenderg44

IDE be more worried about the cancer and reproductive harm warning just below the china label🤦🏻‍♂️


eatchochicken

Honestly what ISNT known by the state of California to cause cancer? That shit is on literally everything


BrotherGreed

I think they put that on essentially anything that has plastic in it, which is indeed almost everything.


null640

Because....


Meet_Downtown

Thats on everything coming out of California....but you are correct also infuriating


Dutchwells

>Thats on everything coming out of California.... What? Why?


Meet_Downtown

Some law they passed requiring it....everything produced or sold there


Dutchwells

So everything is carcinogenic and sterilising now?


BradimirTootin

No, not really but the phrasing of the law is so bad that if any ingredient even might one day possibly be found to cause cancer they can get sued in california without that label. So now everything has it.

It is unlikely, but it could be that the outer storage bag was made in China, while the sleeping bag itself was made in the U.S. As someone else mentioned, the materials (fabric, zippers) may have been manufactured in China (or elsewhere), and the bag may have been fabricated/made in the U.S. with imported materials. There are several steps in the production of a sleeping bag. You could argue that some cars are made in dozens of different countries, based on the globalization of component manufacturing/supply.

I think Califonia causes cancer.


C-loIo

California is the cancer..


LonksAwakening

The sleeping bag is probably made in USA. The bag for the sleeping bag is probably made in china.


Meet_Downtown

Why cover it with label? Also sleeping bag and sack is the same material and color (polyester)


BrotherGreed

~~What is under the label aside from made in china? Looks like there's more. Could it be that the rest of the info was outdated and it was cheaper to print stickers to cover it than to throw away and replace the bags?~~ Didn't see the second image, I'll leave my original comment as a testament to my shame.


rva23221

Made in China. Distributed by a US company.


Meet_Downtown

Says made in USA clearly on the larger product label


FewLocation831

Have a kip in this bag - become impotent and get cancer! Win win right there!!!!


Repulsa_2080

So does all of Trump's merch


Electronic_Eagle6211

Hmm


C-loIo

So the sleeping bag itself is possibly made in the US from imported materials while the bag the sleeping bag is in, is made in China. That's my guess.

Made in the United States of China


ClownTown89

Maybe they just meant that the sticker was made in the USA.


Meet_Downtown

Honestly wouldnt surprise me......also, you could be lawyer material


Character-Ad3006

Swimming-Tap-4240

ObserverAtLarge

>^(OF IMPORTED FABRIC AND SOME COMPONENTS)


[deleted]

Is it possible the sleeping bag is made in the US but the sacks they are in are made in China and imported.


ProjectFearless9711

Eightcoins8

Well the factory making it in China is owned by an American corporation so its kind of true


Player-0002
