Reynolds Wrap maker must face lawsuit over 'Made in USA' claim

NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) - The maker of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil must face a proposed class action claiming it misled consumers by saying the foil is "Made in USA" though much of the raw material and manufacturing comes from elsewhere, a U.S. judge ruled on Monday.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan said consumers who wanted to "buy American" can try to prove that Reynolds Consumer Products REYN.O violated New York state consumer protection laws by using false and misleading packaging to induce them to buy its namesake foil.
