FTC Issues Refunds Over Misleading 'Made in USA' Claims by Pyrex

More than 10,200 consumers will receive refunds for Pyrex measuring cups falsely marketed as American-made but produced in China.

  • The refunds are part of a settlement between the FTC and Instant Brands, the owner of Pyrex, following accusations of false advertising.
  • Instant Brands imported over 110,000 measuring cups from China between March 2021 and May 2022 due to high demand during the pandemic.
  • Despite the cups being made in China, they were marketed as 'Made in USA,' leading to the FTC's action.
  • The settlement required Instant Brands to cease misleading marketing and included a $129,416 fine.
  • Consumers eligible for refunds will be notified automatically by the FTC and should cash their checks within 90 days.
