What if, like many products, it's made in multiple factories?
- mjevans 8y agoUltimately I'm asking for transparency to the consumer, including tractability to actual component manufacturers. Warehousing doesn't count, but combining a number of small things together in to one big thing does. There are a couple different approaches, and no reason you'd need to stick with only one. Consumer transparency is the only true requirement (Be SPECIFIC, Never Lie or lie by omission, also only allow things like "non-ecc" in ways that exclude the text from normal searches). For example: Iphone Model (specific year model/type), By Apple, Built in Apple Approved factories (external link). Example licensed cosmetic product "brand name" Shampoo, Brand, Co-mingled (sold by X), Manufactured in one or more of (exhaustive list) Example licensed cosmetic product "brand name" Shampoo, Brand, Sold by Y (no shared inventory), Manufactured in (short list of pharmaceutical labs in a few US states). Real Cane Sugar Cola, SodaCola Brand, Bottled in List X (short list of pharmaceutical labs in a few US states, only specific manufacturers could be picked as well, shipping time would vary).
