NEWARK, N.J. (Legal Newsline) – The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol says a stainless steel sink manufacturer is in violation of a previous False Claims Act settlement.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey filed a federal lawsuit Dec. 11 against Artisan Manufacturing Corporation, claiming the company has only made one $4,000 payment.
That number falls well short of the $490,000 agreement the two sides reached in 2019, the complaint says.
“Defendants have failed to make another payment pursuant to the settlement agreement despite repeated efforts by the government to seek compliance and promises of the same from Defendants,” the complaint says.
Interest has the current amount the feds are seeking at $507,706.22.
