EAST LIVERPOOL — The Fiesta Tableware Company on Thursday announced it has issued a WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act notice that it will permanently close its East Liverpool facility, Hall China, 1 Anna St.

However, the company said, jobs will be available soon at its Newell, W.Va., facility and these employees are strongly encouraged to apply. Some positions are open immediately
