CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH, A NON-PROFIT VS. KHS AMERICA, INC. ET AL

Matter on the Law & Motion / Discovery calendar for Wednesday, September 17, 2025, Line 3. PLAINTIFF CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH's Motion For Court Approval And Entry Of Consent Judgments As To Yamaha Corporation Of America And Khs America, Inc.

The court continues the matter for further hearing to October 8, 2025. The motion provides insufficient information from which the court may assess the reasonableness of the proposed civil penalty payments because it lacks information about the number of products sold by each defendant. That the settling plaintiff received the information and believes it has adequately accounted for the number of products sold does not obviate the need for the court to consider this information rather than accepting a party's conclusions. The parties may supplement no later than five court days in advance of the continued hearing date.

For the 9:00 a.m. calendar, all attorneys and parties may appear in Department 301 remotely or in person. Remote hearings will be conducted by videoconference using Zoom. (Dept. 301 Zoom ID 161 502 4290; Passcode 700956.) To appear remotely at the hearing, go to the court's website at sfsuperiorcourt.org under "Online Services," navigate to "Tentative Rulings," and click on the appropriate link, or dial the corresponding phone number.

Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestdept301tr@sftc.org with a copy to all other parties by 4pm stating, without argument, the portion(s) of the tentative ruling that the party contests. The subject line of the email shall include the line number, case name and case number. The text of the email shall include the name and contact information, including email address, of the attorney or party who will appear at the hearing.

The court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law & Motion or Discovery Department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts.
