ALG-Health LLC, et al., U.S. v.

The FTC, via DOJ referral, charged Adam J. Harmon and ALG-Health LLC with falsely claiming that PPE products and light fixtures were made in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic. The complaint alleged the products were wholly imported or incorporated significant imported materials, and that defendants falsely represented their respirators as NIOSH-certified U.S.-origin products. Under the proposed consent order, defendants must cease deceptive Made-in-USA claims, provide substantiation for all such claims and COVID-19-related claims, and pay a civil penalty of $157,683.37. This case does not involve physician-led health clinic marketing and has no direct relevance to the sub-verticals in scope.
