Welcome to the world of global manufacturing and trading. In this case
whether the label says "Grundig" or "Eton" is really no indication of
where it was made. At one time Grundig made radios first in Germany
then in Portugal. The owners of the Grundig and Eton names now sell
radios that were assembled in one or more locations with parts that
come from all manner of countries.

This is nothing new. Those two giants of Japan, Seiko and Sony both
make many of their products in off-shore locations with parts from
suppliers in many countries. Take a good close look at the country of
origin for many parts in your car - you might be surprised at how
multinational your vehicle really is.

Is there a specific reason we should be concerned that "Eton" or
"Grundig" radios are made in one or more of locations like: India,
China, Singapore, Taiwan, Mexico, Brazil?
