I saw a similar issue on a product where the Spanish wording obviously came from a computer translation.

"Made in Turkey" was written as "Hecho en pavo."

Pavo is Spanish for turkey, the animal. Turquía is Spanish for Turkey, the country. A human, even a non-fluent speaker such as myself, would never make that mistake.
