WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – Kohl’s Corp (NYSE 🙂 and Walmart Inc (NYSE 🙂 have reached an agreement to pay a $5.5 million combined penalty for deceptively marketing bamboo products that contained other materials. The U.S. Department of Justice announced this on Thursday.

Kohl’s and Walmart will each pay $2.5 Million and $3,000,000 respectively after U.S. authorities said they claimed that the products advertised as being made of bamboo, but in reality were rayon. This was according to a statement by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Commerce.
