Civil Plaintiff
Honeywell to Pay Government $3.35 Million Over Bulletproof Vests
Honeywell International Inc. will pay $3.35 million to the U.S. government to settle a 14-year legal battle over material in bulletproof vests sold by the company.
Between 2000 and 2005, Honeywell sold its Z Shield material to Armor Holdings, a bulletproof vest manufacturer whose products were purchased by federal agencies under a General Services Administration contract.
Armor Holdings vests were also provided to state, local and tribal law enforcement through partial funding provided by the Justice Department’s Bulletproof Vest Partnership program.
