Wrong..
Here’s their listing where they list the origin of the hose as China…

Looking at the Flexzilla website, it appears their air hoses are made in the USA. It boldly says so on the webpage for the air hoses and it’s even printed on the hose itself.

The water hoses are silent about country of origin. They may have been made in the USA in the past, but that doesn’t currently seem to be the case.

Actually, the manufacturer is contradicting itself:

Yep. The manufacturer states no less than a half dozen times in the Q&A section, in response to repeat questions about where the garden hose is made, that their garden hoses are made in Taiwan.

Flexzilla air hoses are made in the USA. Flexzilla garden hoses are made in Taiwan.

Their garden hose packaging also states "Made in Taiwan". For example, in the image below, on the right hand side above the bar code:



And marked the same, even more prominently, on their garden hose shipping boxes (twice):
