Walmart Shareholders

4 • Walmart Shareholders • 2022 e retail giant, which employs 1.5 million U.S. workers and last year had $524 billion in sales, is a closely watched bellwether. It has a network of thousands of suppliers. e retailer's Made in America efforts have come under fire in recent years, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. Truth in Advertising, a consumer advocacy nonprofit group, has repeatedly taken issue with Walmart's labeling of U.S.-made goods as deceptive and misleading. In 2015, the group said it had found more than 100 instances of misleading labels on the company's website, on products including teeth-whitening strips and liquid eyeliner, which it reported to the Federal Trade Commission. e agency briefly investigated the matter but closed its inquiry aer it concluded that Walmart had taken sufficient steps to prevent consumer deception. Earlier this year, Truth in Advertising filed another complaint with the FTC, saying that vacuum cleaners, bath towels and other products on the retailer's website continue to be labeled as "Made in the USA when they contain imported components." It called on the agency to "put an end to Walmart's deceptive made in the USA claims once and for all." In a statement, Walmart said it appreciates t he group's efforts and shares its interests. "We take our commitment to U.S. manufacturing seriously," the retailer said. "We have seen some wonderful success stories based on our initiative and hope to contribute to further expansion of U.S. manufacturing and job growth."
