Teavana Submits $3.75M Offer to Resolve CPSC Civil Penalty
However, the CPSC has not released a final statement on the settlement, although the Record of Commission Action (RCA) showed that the vote was 3-2 in favor of accepting Teavana's settlement offer.
Joe Mohorovic, CPSC commissioner, issued a statement expressing his disapproval of the settlement.
"Today, I find myself unpersuaded by any of the facts—public or not—that our settlement amount is appropriate or that a penalty is justified at all," he said. "Additionally, I still believe we are failing in our duty to tell people why we are imposing the penalty that we are imposing."
