Final
Record of Commission Action
(Briefing package September 4, 2014, OS No. 3792)
Decision
The Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to provisionally accept the Settlement Agreement and Order, which would order Meijer, Inc., to pay a civil penalty of $2,000,000 and fulfill other contractual obligations, as specified. The provisional Settlement Agreement and Final Order will be announced in a Federal Register Notice. The Commission’s Compliance Division of the Office of General Counsel negotiated the proposed agreement to settle staff allegations that Meijer, Inc., knowingly distributed and sold recalled consumer products from approximately April 2010 to April 2011 in violation of CPSA section 19(a)(2)(B), 15 U.S.C. § 2068(a)(2)(B). Section 20(a)(1) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. § 2069(a)(1), permits the imposition of civil penalties for any person who knowingly violates section 19(a)(2)(B) of the CPSA. The Commission may compromise such penalty under section 20(c) of the CPSA.
