(PA) Attorney General Sues Bulletproof Vest Maker

Attorney General Jerry Pappert filed a civil lawsuit Tuesday against Second Chance Body Armor Inc., of Central Lake, Mich., alleging that the company knew about various safety issues surrounding Zylon-based body armor after it began selling the vests.

"It's our position that Second Chance made a conscious decision to hold off warning our law enforcement officials that degradation problems with Zylon in bulletproof vests could seriously compromise their effectiveness," Pappert said.

do all cops know about this?

hope they didn't make any vests for the troops.

...they do degrade over time.
