In October 2023, HSN entered into a settlement agreement with the CPSC in which HSN agreed to pay a civil penalty of $16 million to settle the CPSC’s claims that HSN allegedly failed to timely submit a report under the CPSA in relation to handheld clothing steamers sold by HSN under the Joy Mangano brand names My Little Steamer and My Little Steamer® Go Mini that were subject to a voluntary recall previously announced on May 26, 2021. The settlement agreement also requires HSN to implement and maintain a compliance program to ensure compliance with the CPSA. In January 2024, HSN received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California that was issued in connection with an official criminal investigation into the clothing steamer matter. We have cooperated (and intend to continue cooperating) fully with this investigation, and at this time, we are unable to predict the eventual scope, duration or outcome of this investigation, nor are we able to reasonably estimate any range of loss or possible loss.
