  • "Qui Tam" (Whistleblower) Lawsuit
    San Diego City Attorney Jan I. Goldsmith NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 11, 2010 Contact: Gina Coburn, Communications Director: (619) 533-6181 Four States and 43 California localities join whistleblower to sue Formosa Plastics and JM Eagle for inferior PVC pipe used in water and sewer systems LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, February 11, 2010 – Nevada, Virginia, Delaware, Tennessee, San Diego, Sacramento, San Jose, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and 39 other California municipalities and water districts have joined a whistleblower lawsuit seeking millions of dollars in damages from JM Eagle and its former parent company, Formosa Plastics Corp. (USA), for supplying their water and sewer systems with pipes that JM knew were substandard. As a result, those PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipes will have to be replaced sooner than expected -- a budget nightmare for cash-strapped states, cities and local agencies. It is also more likely that the pipes will leak or break. The "qui tam" (whistleblower) lawsuit was unsealed earlier this week and announced today after the states and other government entities investigated the allegations and elected to intervene in the case, which is filed in federal district court in Los Angeles. “The decisions by so many states, cities and water districts to join this case show just how serious these allegations are,” said Mary A. Inman, a San Francisco attorney with Phillips & Cohen LLP, which represents the whistleblower, the Commonwealth of Virginia, the State of Tennessee and 25 California cities

This action is based on a massive fraud Defendants J-M Manufacturing 3 Company, Inc. (“J-M”), currently doing business as JM Eagle™, and Formosa 4 Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. (“FPC”) perpetrated for well over a decade on the 5 federal, state, and local governments to whom they sold polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”) 6 pipe. This fraud, described in detail herein, constitutes a violation of the federal 7 False Claims Act (“FCA”) and the various False Claims Acts of the states included 8 in this Third Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”). This fraud has caused federal, 9 state, and local governments to purchase and install PVC pipe that has only a 10 fraction of the strength and endurance Defendants represented it to have. This, in 11 turn, has caused failures of the PVC pipe in the field and has resulted in PVC pipe in 12 the ground that will need to be replaced in a fraction of the time that Defendants 13 represented it would last, and that the federal, state, and local governments, relying 14 on those representations, expected it to last. Defendants perpetrated this fraud 15 through the following actions, among others: 16 a) using poor quality materials in the recipe of the PVC pipe, substituting 17 those cheaper materials for better materials that were used previously; 18 b) running the manufacturing process, called extrusion, at speeds that 19 damaged
