Exactly. Basically all they did at this plant was attach the power cord and put the TVs in its box. I think they got in trouble with Walmart because the packaging ostentatiously declared “proudly made in USA”, which was extremely deceptive. Also Element is just a puppet for some Chinese company, “Ching-Chong Electronics” or something along those lines. BTW I’m pretty sure that same company is now the producer of Westinghouse-branded TVs. I was at bestbuy recently and noticed the little yellow energy consumption tag on a Westinghouse tv listed Element as the manufacturer. A little research and I discover Element isn’t really an independent company themselves... not too hard to put two and two together.
