“Today’s announcement illustrates the continuing commitment of the US Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute fraudulent schemes relating to the sale of goods to the United States,” said US Attorney David L. Anderson.

The TAA prohibits certain government contractors from purchasing products that are not entirely from, or “substantially transformed” in, the United States or certain designated countries.

According to the public announcement, in this case Fortinet acknowledged that the "Responsible Employee" directed certain employees and contractors to change product labels so that no country of origin was listed or to include the phrases “Designed in the United States and Canada,” or “Assembled in the United States.”
