$11 Million Settlement reached to resolve False Claims Act Allegations against ITT Cannon

Settlement Amount: 
$11,000,000

A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against ITT Cannon.

The allegations arose from a lawsuit that claimed ITT Cannon supplied electrical connectors to the military that had not been properly tested.

According to the government, ITT Cannon failed to conduct periodic testing on the connectors as promised to the federal government between September 2008 and March 2017. ITT Cannon sold the untested connectors both directly to the government and through distributors and other government contractors that incorporated them into technology and equipment sold to the government.

“Failure to comply with testing requirements undermines the integrity of essential government equipment and technology, and thereby reduces its durability and reliability,” said Assistant Attorney General Jody Hunt for the Department of Justice’s Civil Division. “This settlement demonstrates that we will hold contractors accountable when they fail to deliver what they were paid to deliver.”

The whistleblower Ralph Tatgenhorst, a former company manager, will receive a $2 million as part of the settlement.
