This settlement is part of a larger investigation of the body armor industry’s use of Zylon in body armor. “We will hold accountable those who were aware of the problems with Zylon vests, yet continued to sell them anyway.” “Companies that manufacture and sell defective bulletproof vests to the government not only cheat the taxpayers, they put the lives of our men and women in law enforcement at risk,” said Tony West, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Division. The Point Blank vests were purchased by the federal government, and by various state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies that were partially reimbursed by the United States under the Justice Department’s Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Program. The United States alleged that the Pompano Beach, Fla.,and Jacksboro, Tenn., companies manufactured and sold Zylon bulletproof vests despite possessing information showing that the Zylon materials degraded quickly over time and were not suitable for ballistic use. The payment was made to the United States at the closing of the sale of the bankrupt companies’ assets.
