Item 8.01 Other Events
Lenox Group Inc. (the “Company”) has commenced a voluntary consumer product recall of its “Covered Warmer with Rack,” sold under six different patterns. As of December 19, 2007, the Company had received eight complaints that the warmer causes excessive flaming, which could create a safety hazard. The Company estimates that approximately 18,000 units of this product have been sold to end-consumers. To date, there have been no claims of injury or property damage associated with the complaints. On December 18, 2007, the Company notified the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (the “CPSC”) of its plan with respect to the recall. In addition, the Company has taken action to remove all affected products from distribution and is in the process of sending recall notices to known customers of this product and posting recall notices on its website and at retail establishments to reach other customers. The Company expects to reserve in the range of $450,000 to $650,000 to cover costs in connection with this recall.
