its not the only choice in USA atleast. ethically made products cost more.

But the opposite direction does not hold. More expensive products are not necessary more ethically. Often the cheap and expensive products are made by the same workers and just sold under different brands.

So the customers cannot know which products are ethically or not.

They would need to vet the entire supply chain of every product. That is a full time job just to check one product

Nah. You outsource that job to the store carrying the product. People shop at REI and whole foods for this precise reason.
