Luxury home goods company Williams-Sonoma must pay a large fine for making false claims that some of its products are “Made in the USA,” marking the second time the company agreed to a settlement over mislabeling claims, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday.

Williams-Sonoma, headquartered in San Francisco, has agreed to pay a record $3.18 million settlement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for labeling Chinese-produced items as American-made, according to a DOJ statement.
