The Agreement and the incorporated attached Order resolve the Staff’s allegations set forth below. The Parties [FR Doc. 2011–2586 Filed 2–2–11; 11:15 am] PO 00000 6453 2. The Staff is the staff of the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an independent Federal regulatory agency established pursuant to, and responsible for the enforcement of, the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2051–2089. 3. Raynor Marketing, Ltd. (‘‘Raynor’’) is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, with its principal corporate office located in West Hempstead, New York. Staff Allegations 4. Between May 2006 and March 2009, Raynor imported and distributed approximately one hundred fifty thousand (150,000) of the subject office chairs (the ‘‘Chairs’’) marketed under the brand names ‘‘Quantum Realspace PROTM 9000 Series Mid-Back Multifunction Mesh Chair’’ and ‘‘Multifunction Mesh Chair with Headrest,’’ which were sold through Office Depot locations nationwide and on the Internet at https:// www.OfficeDepot.com for between $300.00 and $350.00. 5. The Chairs are ‘‘consumer products’’ and, at all times relevant hereto, Raynor was a ‘‘manufacturer’’ of these consumer products, which were ‘‘distributed in commerce,’’ as those terms are defined or used in sections 3(a)(5), (8) and (11) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. § 2052(a)(5), (8) and (11). 6. The Chairs are defective because the bolts attaching the seatback to the base can loosen and detach, posing a fall and injury hazard to consumers. 7. Raynor received its first report of an incident involving a broken Chair in December of 2007. 8. By August of 2008, Raynor knew of approximately sixteen (16) reports of incidents involving bolts in the Chairs loosening and/or detaching, causing the seatback to come apart from the base. In at least four (4) of those incidents, the broken Chairs caused injury to consumers. 9. Despite being aware of the information set forth in Paragraphs six through eight, Raynor did not report to the Commission until April of 2009. By that time, Raynor was aware of at least twenty-eight (28) reports of incidents involving Chairs with bolt failures, which caused substantial physical injuries to at least eight (8) consumers. The Chairs were recalled in October of 2009. E:\FR\FM\04FEN1.SGM 04FEN1
