    The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed a cease and desist order from the Federal Trade Commission that required American Tack Co. to disclose the country of origin for solid head nickel plated thumbtacks as well as similar products. The court found that orders requiring disclosure of country of origin are routinely upheld as the FTC and courts have consistently found them to be an appropriate remedy. The cease and desist order against American Tack Co. was therefore affirmed and enforcement was granted.
