Case Name:
Hammond v Valor Communication, Inc.
Plaintiff Attorney:
Law Office of Joseph D. Agliozzo
Defendant:
Valor Communication, Inc.
Injunctive Relief:
VALOR shall not sell the Covered Product for distribution in California in the future, and shall not
resume sales of the Covered Product in California unless the product meets the reformulation
standard set forth in Paragraph 3.2 or unless VALOR provides a clear and reasonable warning for
any non-reformulated Covered Product currently in inventory that it ships, sells, or offers to ship
or sell in California. VALOR estimates that selling the remaining inventory of Covered Product
could take up to three years and represents that the existing inventory of Covered Product will
only be sold with a compliant warning as dscribed further in Paragah 3.1.1. below.
3.1.1. The warning referenced in paragraph 3.1 above shall comply with Title 27 of the
California Code of Regulations, Article 6 "Clear and Reasonable Warnings", specifically
any method described in Section 25603 Consumer Product Warnings. A copy of this
section is attached to this agreement as Exhibit "A".
3.2. Except as provided above, upon the Effective Date, VALOR agrees to only manufacture
for sale or purchase for sale in or into California, “Reformulated Covered Products.” For
purposes of this Settlement Agreement, “Reformulated Covered Products” are Covered
Products containing no more than 1,000 parts per million (0.1%) DEHP in any accessible
component (i.e., any component that may be touched during use). In order to determine
compliance with this reformulation standard, VALOR may rely on third party testing
from an accredited laboratory.
