$6.58 Million Settlement reached in Whistleblower Case with General Electric Aviation Services

Settlement Amount: 
$6,580,000

A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against General Electric Aviation Services (GEAS) who is accused of submitting false claims in connection with multiple Department of Defense contracts.

The whistleblowers share of the settlement has not yet been determined.

The initial whistleblower case was filed in May 2011.  The government alleged that GEAS knowingly failed to comply with contract specifications and failed to undertake proper quality control procedures in connection with 641 external fuel tanks (EFT) it delivered to the Navy between June 2005 and February 2008. In addition, the United States complaint alleged that, between June 2010 and June 2011, GEAS knew that it falsely represented to another government contractor that GEAS had performed a complete inspection of 228 drag beams to be used on Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, and that those 228 drag beams conformed to all contract specifications.
