Level 2 Source-checkedImported parts

Zippo windproof lighter

Zippo Manufacturing Company · Bradford, PA · Everyday carry

Maker’s listed price: Not confirmed

Origin source: Zippo: supply chain statement

Caveat

Zippo says some parts come from abroad (fuel bottles from Canada, flints from Austria) and that a small amount of other products, such as utility lighters and outdoor goods, are bought from suppliers in countries like China and India. Only the windproof lighter is covered by the Bradford statement.

Level 2 Source-checked

Pendleton wool blankets and throws (Made-in-USA lines)

Pendleton Woolen Mills · Pendleton, OR and Washougal, WA · Home

Maker’s listed price: from $248

Origin source: Pendleton: Wool Blankets FAQ

Caveat

Pendleton says 'most', not all. Its own line book lists some throws and pillows as imported, and some baby blankets as made in Portugal. Look for 'Made in USA' on the exact item's page.

Level 2 Source-checked

Fiesta dinnerware

The Fiesta Tableware Company · Newell, WV · Kitchen

Maker’s listed price: Not confirmed

Origin source: Fiesta: USA Made

Caveat

This is the maker's company-wide statement. Fiesta is also sold by many retailers that mix in imported brands, so buy Fiesta-branded pieces and check the item description.

Level 2 Source-checked

Blenko hand-blown glass

Blenko Glass Company · Milton, WV · Home

Maker’s listed price: from $79

Origin source: Blenko: Visit Blenko

Caveat

The 'hand-finished from sand to hand' description comes from the company and a West Virginia Public Broadcasting profile, not an audit. Check that a piece is Blenko-made, not a third-party item sold in its gift shop.

Level 2 Source-checkedImported parts

Fox River performance socks

Fox River (Nester Hosiery) · Mount Airy, NC (headquarters) · Apparel

Maker’s listed price: Not confirmed

Origin source: Fox River: Made in the USA

Caveat

Older sources say Fox River socks come from Osage, Iowa. That plant stopped production in late 2025; Nester Hosiery bought Fox River's assets and moved manufacturing to North Carolina, keeping product development and customer service in Osage. Imported yarn is also used.

Level 1 Claim noted

Green Toys recycled-plastic toys

Green Toys · Northbrook, IL (headquarters) · Toys

Maker’s listed price: Not confirmed

Origin source: Green Toys: Philosophy

Caveat

Green Toys does not say which toys are made where. Because some are made abroad, we cannot say a given Green Toys item is American-made. Check the box or the product page for the country of origin before you buy.

Level 2 Source-checked

Red Wing Heritage boots (Iron Ranger and other Heritage styles)

Red Wing Shoe Company · Red Wing, MN · Apparel

Maker’s listed price: from $349.99

Origin source: Red Wing: Made in the USA

Caveat

Red Wing says it makes boots around the world, and only some lines are made in the USA. Buy the styles listed on its Made in the USA page and check the product page for the exact boot.
