A company should have to pay out money it made while employing workers under the age of 18, feds say in a lawsuit.

The US Labor Department investigated a company it says employed underaged workers as deboners then shipped its product. The company’s lawyer denies it.

The lawsuit says Chen Lu also prevented department investigators from accessing information they needed to determine if the company violated labor laws, according to the lawsuit. “The defense counsel’s allegations are false.
