Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

Contingencies

As previously disclosed, in 2017 we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the FTC. The CID requested information in connection with an FTC review for compliance of our representations about Quell with Sections 5 and 12 of the FTC Act. During 2017, 2018 and 2019, we responded to requests for information by FTC. We met with FTC on several occasions in 2019 to discuss our responses. We continue to seek resolution of this matter. This may include a consent order that, among other provisions, would prohibit us from making certain claims in our advertising about Quell, as well as impose a monetary judgment that would be payable to the FTC. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be reasonably estimated at this time; however, the Company believes that a material financial loss is probable.
