Hello Jay!

Digging around the www I read the classification for "made in  
XX" should only apply to goods that undergo final assembly "in  
XX"   However, it sounds like "manufactured by" can apply to  
goods that are assembled under 100% complete.  So, maybe the  
last (and perhaps only) step this particular item gets is the  
attachment of the UPC label in USA, and .: "manufactured by  
MerryMakers ..Oakland CA" makes is American?

Sheesh.

Anyway.. I am astonished at how many items are manufactured and  
assembled China.  Even a vast majority of books seem to be  
printed and manufactured in China.
