Bullet Proof Vests looked at by OIG

??SETTLEMENTS BECAUSE OF THE IG AUDIT??

??TOYOBO CO. LTD. AGREED TO PAY $66 MILLION TO RESOLVE FALSE CLAIMS RELATED TO DEFECTIVE BULLETPROOF VESTS ??On March 15, 2018, Toyobo Co., Ltd. (Toyobo) agreed to pay $66 million to resolve allegations under the False Claims Act that Toyobo sold defective Zylon fiber used in bulletproof vests that the United States purchased for federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. The settlement resolves allegations that between at least 2001 and 2005, Toyobo knew that Zylon degraded quickly in normal conditions, and that the degradation of the material made the ballistic vests unfit for use, placing the lives of law enforcement officers at risk. A 2005 study of Zylon-containing vests found that more than 50 percent of used vests could not stop bullets that they had been certified to stop. GSA OIG investigated this case with the Department of Commerce (Commerce) OIG, Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS), U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI), U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (CID), Department of Energy (DOE) OIG, and Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA).
KNOWN FAULTY AND DEFECTIVE BULLET PROOF VESTS SOLD TO OUR GOVERNMENT.
WHY do we allow foreign countries to supply VITAL thing’s like BULLET PROOF VESTS?
