Leatherman based in the USA, but not made in the USA (mislabeling product)

PORTLAND, Ore. - The Leatherman Tool Group Inc. was ordered to pay consumers more than $13 million after a California judge decided the company's multiuse tools had too many foreign components to be considered made in the United States.

State Superior Court Judge Victoria Chaney ruled that the company violated California law by placing a "Made in USA" label on almost two dozen products that were largely made outside of the country.

She said the label would likely "deceive members of the public into a false belief that the tools are wholly American made."

Leatherman spokesman Mark Baker said Thursday that an appeal is likely. He acknowledged that some of the company's parts and processes are handled by suppliers in Canada, Mexico and Western Europe, but says enough work is done in this country to justify the "Made in USA" label.
