GPS tracker maker Land Air Sea Systems has agreed to pay $1.3 million to settle a class action alleging it falsely advertised its products as “Made in the USA,” ClassAction.org reported on February 20, 2026.
The claims
The lawsuit, Pinter v. Land Air Sea Systems, Inc., No. 1:22-cv-00185, alleged that products sold on the company’s website and Amazon were marketed as “Made in the USA” or “Manufactured in the USA” even though they contained a significant amount of imported components.
Settlement terms
- Covers people in the USA who bought one or more products from the company’s website or Amazon between January 12, 2018, and January 12, 2022.
- Payments are pro-rated and capped at $45 per product.
- Claims were due March 4, 2026. A final approval hearing is set for March 18, 2026.
- The court granted preliminary approval on August 8, 2025.
Why it matters for Made in USA
Electronics are among the hardest products to make all or virtually all in the USA, because chips, batteries and many components are imported. A device designed or assembled in the USA from foreign parts needs a qualified claim, such as “Assembled in USA with imported components,” to meet the FTC standard.
The case also involves Amazon listings. In July 2025, the FTC sent letters to Amazon and Walmart about possibly false Made in USA claims by third-party sellers on their platforms.
