The " Made in America" label only requires that assembly takes place in the US, the parts can come from anywhere.

So true. I had something which was marketed as a "Made In USA" product, and had a marking on the outside of the case to attest to this. One time I had reason to open the case up (replace a backup battery or something) and the "Made In China" branding on the inside was significantly larger than the "Made In USA" mark on the outside.
