How a TINA.org Reader Tip Led to a Record Penalty for False Made in USA Claims
FTC says civil penalty against Williams-Sonoma is “the largest ever in a Made in USA case.”
In March 2015, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Breckenridge Distillery for allegedly falsely marketing Breckenridge Bourbon Whiskey. According to the complaint, the company markets whiskey as made in Colorado when, in reality, some of the whiskey is produced in bulk outside of Colorado. (Cady et al v. Double Diamond Distillery, LLC d/b/a Breckenridge Distillery, Case No. 2015CH03632, Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois).
