Research on Electric Blankets
Here are some sites to review. Looks like Sunbeam is the leader in this area. It appears that the blankets are made in US but the controllers are imported. I would guess that is the same for any electric blanket that you would buy.
There is another brand called Frontgate. It’s advertised in several places as “Made in USA” but it wasn’t obvious on the Frontgate web page. So check labels. It’s also likely that the Frontgate blankets are really sunbeam with a different labeling on them. It’s not uncommon.”

I have been completely unsuccessful at finding LED light bulbs made in the USA. If anyone has any information on a manufacturer in the USA. Please help us.
Thank you!
This is the response I received when searching for string LED lights. It comes from www.Inirgee.com. Innovative Energy Solutions.
“You are facing a true dilemma. I cannot find light strings made in the USA. The problem lies with the fact that the vast majority of consumers want “Wal-Mart” prices and that requires finding foreign manufactories which don’t have to pay American Union wages. Even items which are handcrafted in USA are usually made of components which come from China, India, Pakistan or other foreign land with cheap labor (the vast majority of items in the Hobby Lobby stores is foreign-made for example). So, if you consider our lighted wreaths, or metal-frame displays, the structures may be US made, but the lights will be from China. It is an impossible situation which I find to be frustrating on a number of levels. “
