A Utah-based apparel company known for its inflammatory T-shirts that often espouse pro-Second Amendment and pro-Trump messages was ordered to pay a hefty fine by the Federal Trade Commission for falsely claiming some its products were made entirely in the U.S.
Lions Not Sheep and its owner Sean Whalen were hit with a $211,335 fine last week after the FTC found the company removed “Made in China” tags, replacing them with phony “Made in the USA” labels, according to a news release.[…]
But according to the FTC complaint, Whalen posted a video to social media claiming he could “conceal the fact that his shirts are made in China by ripping out the origin tags and replacing them with tags stating that the merchandise was made in the United States.”
