You'd probably be surprised at the number of items this happens with. It's cheaper to make the base components overseas, and then bring them stateside for "finishing." A lot of the stuff that's allegedly made in the USA is in fact just sugar-coated here, but the guts are made elsewhere.
The plastic covers are made in the US. I used to work in a food grade plastic manufacturing plant. The workers would place "Made in USA" labels in every box. As our plant was in Toronto, Canada, I asked what was going on. It was explained that the labels were made in the US and was done because it made the clients feel better.
I worked at a jewelry company who would proudly put on advertisements and signs saying our tungsten rings were American made. My job was to sand out the made in China so our engravers can engrave made in America.
