Did you know that when consumers buy items online, websites are not required to display the country of origin for the product being sold because our labeling laws were written before online shopping existed? Senator Baldwin’s bipartisan-sponsored COOL Online Act proposes to update our country of origin labeling laws so online shoppers can know where the products...
