Jan 29 (Reuters) - First Brands Group issued a statement on Thursday regarding the indictment of former CEO Patrick James and former Senior Vice President Edward James by the United States Department of Justice.
"The criminal charges relate to alleged historical actions by certain former executives who are no longer with First Brands Group or involved in the management, governance, or day-to-day operations of the Company," the statement said.
"While these matters concern past conduct, their impact is being felt now by thousands of people."
