Court Name:
Alameda County Superior Court
Plaintiff:
Environmental Health Advocates, Inc.
Defendant:
AMERICAN DREAM HOME GOODS, INC
Injunctive Relief:
Beginning on the Effective Date, and continuing thereafter, Brown’s shall not sell in
California, or distribute for sale in California, the Covered Products, unless accompanied by warnings
provided for in Section 2.2. As used in this Section 2.1, “distribute for sale in California” means to
directly ship Covered Products into California or to sell Covered Products to a distributor Brown’s
knows will sell Covered Products in California. Brown’s agrees that each warning shall be prominently placed with such conspicuousness, as
compared with other words, statements, designs, or devices as to render it likely to be read and
understood by an ordinary individual under customary conditions before purchase or use. Each
warning shall be provided in a manner such that the consumer or user understands to which specific
Covered Products the warning applies, so as to minimize the risk of consumer confusion.
For purposes of this Settlement Agreement, a clear and reasonable warning for the Covered
Products shall consist of a warning affixed to the packaging, label, tag, or directly to each Covered Products sold in California by Brown's. The warning statement shall be prominently displayed on the Covered Products, on the
packaging of the Covered Products, or on a placard, shelf tag, or sign provided that the statement is
displayed with such conspicuousness, as compared with other words, statements, or designs as to
render it likely to be read and understood by an ordinary individual prior to sale. If the warning
statement is displayed on the Covered Products’ packaging, it must be in a type size no smaller than
the largest type size used for other consumer information on the product. In no case shall a warning
statement displayed on the Covered Products’ packaging appear in a type size smaller than 6-point
type. The same warning shall be posted on any websites under the exclusive control of Brown’s where
Covered Products are sold into California.
