Ballarini Nero Silicone Skimming Ladle, Made in Italy

This is a beautiful, well made ladle, but…. I was willing to pay more for a silicone product made in the USA, but most are made in China. I came across this product and the title said “made in Italy”. But in the fine print of the product information, it said “made in China”. Confusing, so I researched the Ballarini plant and saw that they manufacture in Italian towns, not China, so I assumed the “made in China” had to be a mistake. After all, the title screamed made in Italy, and the Ballarini website said their products are made in Italy. Well, my ladle shows made in China, see attached picture. For safety reasons, I would never have purchased if I had known. At the very least it’s misleading, at worst downright false advertising.
