NEW YORK, March 3 (Reuters) - The maker of Reynolds Wrap

aluminum foil must face a proposed class action claiming it

misled consumers by saying the foil is "Made in USA" though much

of the raw material and manufacturing comes from elsewhere, a

U.S. judge ruled on Monday.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan said

consumers who wanted to "buy American" can try to prove that

Reynolds Consumer Products ( REYN ) violated New York state

consumer protection laws by using false and misleading packaging

to induce them to buy its namesake foil.
