A California federal judge has rejected a motion by Nordstrom Inc. and a luxury denim manufacturer to dismiss a proposed class action accusing them of falsely marketing jeans as “Made in the USA,” ruling the suit’s claims are not preempted by federal law.
Judge Dana Sabraw of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California denied the motion by defendants Nordstrom and A.G. Adriano Goldschmeid Inc., a maker of denim products, after rejecting their argument that federal law trumps California law when labeling apparel products that contain foreign-made component parts as being “Made in the USA.”
