CSK Automotive Case Settled - $14,000

On November 9, 2004, an office conference was held with representatives from CSK Auto, Inc., the parent company of Kragen Auto Parts stores, to discuss  the sale of non-compliant 20/10 DeICER Windshield Washer Cleaner (freeze protection to –25o F) and non-compliant 20/10 All Season Windshield Washer Fluid in non-Type A areas of California.  Samples of these non-complying products had been collected in May of 2003 and in August 2004.  The case was settled on January 31, 2005 for a payment of $14,000.  CSK Auto also agreed to upgrade its retail point of sale computer system to prevent similar violations in the future.
