What happens if a retailer fails to pay the penalty?
If a retailer does not respond in writing or offer payment within 30 days of the service of the Complaint, the Administrative Law Judge shall assume the facts alleged in the Complaint to be true and can impose the amount asked for in the Complaint. If, after a civil money penalty assessment becomes final, the retailer refuses to pay, the U.S. Department of Justice may sue the retailer in federal court under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for the amount of the penalty plus interest.
