SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company sources a considerable amount of its consumer products from China and has historically been subject to significant Section 301 customs duties. On May 11, 2026, the Company received $1.2 million in cash proceeds related to the formal claims filed on April 20, 2026, for the recovery of Section 301 customs duties previously paid on consumer products sourced from China. While the Company has successfully realized this initial portion of its claims, the remaining balance of the recovery is still subject to government audit and administrative approval. Although the Company continues to expect the receipt of additional funds by the third quarter of 2026, there is no guarantee as to the final timing or the total amount that will be realized. Since the full realization of the remaining claims is not yet considered certain, the Company has not recorded the outstanding potential recovery as a receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2026, but will recognize the $1.2 million as a gain in the second quarter of 2026.

 

In February 2026, we announced a voluntary recall in coordination with the CPSC for approximately 195,000 units of our PurSteam Mighty Lil Steamers and Elite Travel Steamers due to reports of hot water expelling from the nozzle. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, costs related to this recall, including refund payments and legal expenses. On March 6, 2026, a class action complaint was filed alleging that certain steamer products suffered from malfunctions that caused the units to propel scalding water during normal use. On May 13, 2026, the company entered into a settlement agreement and general release to resolve this litigation. Under the terms of the agreement, the company agreed to pay a total settlement sum of $100,000 in exchange for a full release of all claims related to the purchase and use of the products. The agreement stipulates a voluntary dismissal of the claims with prejudice and includes customary provisions regarding confidentiality, non-disparagement, and a denial of any wrongdoing or liability by the company.

 

On December 9, 2025,  the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that it was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet received formal written confirmation from Nasdaq that it has regained compliance, as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at or above $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days, ending on May 14, 2026.
