"of America" but not really "of America"

Label on "Furniture of America" box

 The box says "Furniture of America", but the furniture is "Made in Vietnam". Apart from being a registered trademark, I wonder how much "America" is contained in this particular product.

The firm's website states, "FOA is a premier source for US-made upholstery, allowing us to maintain a competitive edge while supporting our country’s job market."

And while the website does show 414 products that are made in the USA,  (https://www.foagroup.com/made-in-usa.html), the website shows many more products that are are made outside the USA, likely utilizing the firm's facilities in China and Vietnam.
