02:53 PM EDT, 04/26/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Williams-Sonoma ( WSM ) will pay a $3.175 million civil penalty for falsely labeling products as "Made in USA" when they were made in China and other countries, the Federal Trade Commission said Friday.

The complaint filed by the Department of Justice complaint after a FTC referral said Williams-Sonoma ( WSM ) violated a 2020 commission order requiring transparency on the origin of products marketed as "Made in USA."

The company offered mattress pads under the PBTeen brand as "crafted in America," when they were actually made in China, the FTC said, and the agency found six other products with deceptive "Made in USA" claims.

Along with the fine, the federal court settlement mandates Williams-Sonoma ( WSM ) to provide yearly compliance certifications and reenforces various requirements on the company's marketing and assembly claims.

Williams-Sonoma ( WSM ) shares rose 0.1% in recent trading Friday.
