CPSC Docket No.: 17–C0005 

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 

1. In accordance with the Consumer 

Product Safety Act, 15 U.S.C. 2051– 

2089 (‘‘CPSA’’) and 16 CFR 1118.20, 

Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., and its

2. The Commission is an independent 

federal regulatory agency, established

6. The hazards posed by the Recalled 

Products include, but are not limited to, 

fire hazards, laceration hazards, and 

electrocution and shock hazards. 

7. The Recalled Products were subject 

to voluntary corrective action taken by 

the manufacturers in consultation with 

the Commission of which action the 

Commission notified the public. Each 

Recall listed above in paragraph 5 was 

publicized by the manufacturer and by 

the Commission. 

8. The Recalled Products are 

‘‘consumer products,’’ and, at all 

relevant times, Home Depot was a 

‘‘retailer’’ of these consumer products, 

which were ‘‘distributed in commerce,’’ 

as those terms are defined or used in 

sections 3(a)(5), (8), and (13) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2052(a)(5), (8) and (13). 

9. Under CPSA section 19(a)(2)(B), it 

is unlawful for any person to sell, offer 

for sale, manufacture for sale, distribute 

in commerce, or import into the United 

States, any consumer product that is 

subject to voluntary corrective action 

taken by the manufacturer, in 

consultation with the Commission, of 

which action the Commission has 

notified the public, or if the seller, 

distributor, or manufacturer knew, or 

should have known, of such voluntary 

corrective action. 

10. Pursuant to section 20(a)(l) of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069(a)(1), any person 

who ‘‘knowingly’’ violates CPSA section 

19 is subject to civil penalties. Under 

section 20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2069(d), the term ‘‘knowingly’’ means: 

‘‘(1) the having of actual knowledge, or 

(2) the presumed having of knowledge 

deemed to be possessed by a reasonable 

man who acts in the circumstances, 

including knowledge obtainable upon 

the exercise of due care to ascertain the 

truth of representations.’’ 

11. Home Depot sold and distributed 

Recalled Products because Home 

Depot’s procedures failed to accurately 

identify, quarantine, and prevent the 

sale, offer for sale, and distribution of 

the Recalled Products. Home Depot sold 

and distributed Recalled Products 

through the Firm’s traditional register 

lanes, Special Services Desks, sales for 

salvage from its reverse logistic centers, 

Internet sales, and donations through 

the Framing Hope program. 

12. On May 29, 2015, Home Depot 

notified Commission staff that Home 

Depot had sold or transferred to its 

reverse logistics centers for potential 

sale approximately 595 units of seven 

different Recalled Products. Staff 

conducted an investigation and, based 

on information provided by Home 

Depot, the Commission and Home 

Depot issued a joint press release on 

November 18, 2015, announcing that 

Home Depot had sold approximately 

2,310 units of 28 different Recalled 

Products between 2012 and November 

2015. 

13. After the press release announcing 

Home Depot’s sale of the Recalled 

Products, Home Depot sold or 

distributed approximately 40 units of 

Recalled Products over the course of an 

additional year, with the last reported 

sale occurring in November 2016. Home 

Depot had also sold or distributed 

additional units of the Recalled 

Products that were listed in the 

November 2015 press release, as well as 

units of other Recalled Products that 

were either: (i) recalled after the 

November 2015 press release, or (ii) had 

not been discovered by the time the 

November 2015 press release was 

issued. In total, staff’s investigation 

revealed that Home Depot sold or 

distributed at least 2,816 units of 33 

different Recalled Products. 

14. Home Depot knew and/or should 

have known of the sales of Recalled 

Products. 

15. Home Depot’s sale and 

distribution of the Recalled Products 

was ‘‘knowing,’’ as that term is defined 

in section 20(d) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2069(d). 

16. Pursuant to section 20 of the 

CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2069, Home Depot is 

subject to civil penalties for its knowing 

sale and distribution of the Recalled 

Products, in violation of section 

19(a)(2)(B) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2068(a)(2)(B). 

RESPONSE OF HOME DEPOT 

17. Home Depot’s settlement of this 

matter does not constitute an admission 

of staff’s charges as set forth in 

paragraphs 4 to 16 above. 

18. Home Depot prohibits the sale of 

recalled products and took reasonable 

measures to prevent recalled products 

from being sold or distributed for use by 

consumers through ‘‘stop sale’’ 

procedures and other internal controls. 

19. Home Depot identified the postrecall sale and distribution of certain 

products through an internal review of 

its stop sale procedures. Home Depot 

voluntarily notified the Commission, 

and Home Depot then worked 

cooperatively with Commission staff to 

expand the scope of the review and 

address the identified issues. 

20. Home Depot has enhanced its 

processes and systems to further reduce 

the risk of selling or distributing 

recalled products. 

21. Home Depot enters into this 

Agreement to settle this matter without 

the delay and avoid the unnecessary 

expense of litigation. 

AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES 

22. Under the CPSA, the Commission 

has jurisdiction over the matter 

involving the Recalled Products 

described in this Agreement and over 

Home Depot.

41004 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2017 / Notices 

23. The parties enter into the 

Agreement for settlement purposes only. 

The Agreement does not constitute an 

admission by Home Depot, or a 

determination by the Commission, that 

Home Depot knowingly violated the 

CPSA. 

24. In settlement of staff’s charges, 

and to avoid the cost, distraction, delay, 

uncertainty, and inconvenience of 

protracted litigation or other 

proceedings, Home Depot shall pay a 

civil penalty in the amount of $5.7 

million (five million, seven hundred 

thousand) within thirty (30) calendar 

days after receiving service of the 

Commission’s final Order accepting the 

Agreement. All payments to be made 

under the Agreement shall constitute 

debts owing to the United States and 

shall be made by electronic wire transfer 

to the United States via: https://

www.pay.gov for allocation to, and 

credit against, the payment obligations 

of Home Depot under this Agreement. 

Failure to make such payment by the 

date specified in the Commission’s final 

Order shall constitute Default. 

25. All unpaid amounts, if any, due 

and owing under the Agreement, shall 

constitute a debt due and immediately 

owing by Home Depot to the United 

States, and interest shall accrue and be 

paid by Home Depot at the federal legal 

rate of interest set forth at 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1961(a) and (b), from the date of 

Default, until all amounts due have been 

paid in full (hereinafter ‘‘Default 

Payment Amount’’ and ‘‘Default Interest 

Balance’’). Home Depot shall consent to 

a Consent Judgment in the amount of 

the Default Payment Amount and 

Default Interest Balance, and the United 

States, at its sole option, may collect the 

entire Default Payment Amount and 

Default Interest Balance, or exercise any 

other rights granted by law or in equity, 

including, but not limited to, referring 

such matters for private collection; and 

Home Depot agrees not to contest, and 

hereby waives and discharges any 

defenses to, any collection action 

undertaken by the United States, or its 

agents or contractors, pursuant to this 

paragraph. Home Depot shall pay the 

United States all reasonable costs of 

collection and enforcement under this 

paragraph, respectively, including 

reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses. 

26. After staff receives this Agreement 

executed on behalf of Home Depot, staff 

shall promptly submit the Agreement to 

the Commission for provisional 

acceptance. Promptly following 

provisional acceptance of the 

Agreement by the Commission, the 

Agreement shall be placed on the public 

record and published in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in 16 C.F.R. 

§ 1118.20(e). If the Commission does not 

receive any written request not to accept 

the Agreement within fifteen (15) 

calendar days, the Agreement shall be 

deemed finally accepted on the 16th 

calendar day after the date the 

Agreement is published in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 16 C.F.R. 

§ 1118.20(f). 

27. This Agreement is conditioned 

upon, and subject to, the Commission’s 

final acceptance, as set forth above, and 

it is subject to the provisions of 16 

C.F.R. § 1118.20(h). Upon the later of: (i) 

Commission’s final acceptance of this 

Agreement and service of the accepted 

Agreement upon Home Depot, and (ii) 

the date of issuance of the final Order, 

this Agreement shall be in full force and 

effect and shall be binding upon the 

parties. 

28. Effective upon the later of: (i) the 

Commission’s final acceptance of the 

Agreement and service of the accepted 

Agreement upon Home Depot, and (ii) 

the date of issuance of the final Order, 

for good and valuable consideration, 

Home Depot hereby expressly and 

irrevocably waives and agrees not to 

assert any past, present, or future rights 

to the following, in connection with the 

matter described in this Agreement: (i) 

an administrative or judicial hearing; (ii) 

judicial review or other challenge or 

contest of the Commission’s actions; (iii) 

a determination by the Commission of 

whether Home Depot failed to comply 

with the CPSA and the underlying 

regulations; (iv) a statement of findings 

of fact and conclusions of law; and (v) 

any claims under the Equal Access to 

Justice Act. 

29. Home Depot represents and agrees 

that it has and will maintain a 

compliance program designed to ensure 

compliance with the CPSA with respect 

to any consumer product imported, 

manufactured, distributed or sold by the 

Firm. The compliance program shall 

contain the following elements: written 

standards, policies, and procedures 

designed to ensure compliance with 

CPSA statutes and regulations; 

procedures to ensure that relevant

appropriate personnel responsible for 

CPSA compliance; mechanisms to

enforce a system of internal controls and 

procedures designed to ensure that, 

with respect to all consumer products 

manufactured, imported, distributed, or 

sold by Home Depot: information 

required to be disclosed by Home Depot 

to the Commission is recorded, 

processed, and reported in accordance 

with applicable law; all reporting made 

to the Commission is timely, truthful, 

complete, accurate, and in accordance 

with applicable law; and prompt 

disclosure is made to Home Depot’s 

management of any significant 

deficiencies or material weaknesses in 

the design or operation of such internal 

controls that are reasonably likely to 

affect adversely, in any material respect, 

Home Depot’s ability to record, process, 

and report to the Commission in 

accordance with applicable law. 

31. Upon reasonable request of staff, 

Home Depot shall provide written 

documentation of its internal controls 

and procedures, including, but not 

limited to, the effective dates of the 

procedures and improvements thereto. 

Home Depot shall cooperate fully and 

truthfully with staff and shall make

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2017 / Notices 41005 

Home Depot and each of its successors, 

transferees, and assigns, and a violation 

of the Agreement or Order may subject 

Home Depot, and each of its successors, 

transferees, and assigns, to appropriate 

legal action. 

37. The Agreement and the Order 

constitute the complete agreement 

between the parties on the subject 

matter contained therein. 

38. The Agreement may be used in 

interpreting the Order. Understandings, 

agreements, representations, or 

interpretations apart from those 

contained in the Agreement and the 

Order may not be used to vary or 

contradict their terms. For purposes of 

construction, the Agreement shall be 

deemed to have been drafted by both of 

the parties and shall not, therefore, be 

construed against any party for that 

reason in any subsequent dispute. 

39. The Agreement may not be 

waived, amended, modified, or 

otherwise altered, except as in

provision materially affects the purpose 

of the Agreement and the Order.
