Why do we make our Spoolies curlers in the U.S.A.?

We had many false starts in manufacturing Spoolies due to U.S. companies who had a partnership, or owned a factory, overseas. They encouraged our owner to use their overseas factory since the curlers were lightweight and could ship easily. Plus, the cost would be less than 1/2, since labor was very inexpensive overseas.

Finally, after many disappointments in workmanship, our owner, Jeanne James, found a factory in Southern California who made only medical-grade silicone products.
