The Federal Trade Commission has dropped its investigation into Walmart's decision to lie about where its products were sourced. As the FTC's letter to Walmart confirms, the decision to end the investigation comes after Walmart was forced to pull their misleading logos.

Two years ago, Walmart announced its intention to source an additional $250 billion worth of U.S-made goods over the following decade, part of a campaign to improve its reputation as a corporate citizen. The strategy also has a sound business case: a Consumer Reports survey this year found 80% of Americans prefer to buy Made-in-the-USA products when possible.

This summer, watchdog group Truth in Advertising said it found more than 100 examples of items labeled with a “Made in the U.S.A.” logo on Walmart’s web site that misled consumers. At the time, a Walmart spokesman told CBS that “a small percentage of items” were mislabeled because of coding errors.

[My emphasis while I cough and say "bullshit" under my breath.]
Walmart has redesigned the logos to better indicate how sometimes "Made in the USA" to Walmart means "Made outside of the USA."
