I googled it up and found:
"It was supposed to say "Hecho en USSR," but the Chinese supplier of the labels misread the French font company's tag dimensions from the English screen printing service's East Germany office's spec sheets. This simple English-metric conversion error caused their IBM 360 to have a floating-point error, and it jumped to the wrong pattern list altogether, so the wrong export label was generated. The printer/typographer noticed it and reported the problem, but nobody knew what to do about it - they shipped anyway, and forwarded the report. When the plates arrived in Vilnius, the Fubar Technology Correction Office took note of the report, and determined that it would be OK as long as this batch of units remained in the Eastern Bloc."
So there you have it - no big deal.
