this matter on an individual/non-class basis. This settlement was prompted, in part, by the fact that 

the product that was the subject of the litigation is no longer on the market. If, however, the Court 

desires to review the settlement agreement, the Parties will provide the Court with a copy of the 

Settlement Agreement for in camera review. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs and Defendants that the Court 

shall retain jurisdiction over this action following its dismissal for the sole purpose of enforcing the 

Parties’ settlement.
