An Ohio-based company that makes personal protective equipment (PPE) has been falsely labeling its goods as “Made in USA” when the products are made in China, a new lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) alleges.
The FTC filed the lawsuit against Adam J. Harmon and his companies, Axis LED Group LLC and ALG-Health LLC, Aug. 16 in an Ohio federal court, alleging violations of the COVID-19 Consumer Protection Act, the Made in USA Labeling Rule and the FTC Act.
The FTC alleges that, during the pandemic, the company violated the law by swapping “Made in China” stickers on face masks with “Made in USA” labels.
The company also claims that its products are more effective in protecting against COVID-19 than other companies’ products, which is false, the FTC alleges.
The Made in USA lawsuit includes statements from ALG staff who allege the owner of the company knew he was deceiving customers about where the products were made.
ALG started selling KN95 respirators, gloves and gowns that were imported from China early in the pandemic, the lawsuit states.
