Gerber Legendary Blades, a division of Fiskars Brands, this week agreed to pay a $2.6 million civil penalty to the Department of Justice to settle allegations that it knowingly failed to immediately report to the Consumer Product Safety Commission a safety hazard associated with Fiskars’ Gator Combo Axe. As part of the settlement, Fiskars also agreed to establish and maintain a compliance program with internal recordkeeping and monitoring systems to keep track of information about product safety hazards.
