Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig announced that his office, along with the Fresno District Attorney’s Office, reached a settlement in a consumer protection case filed Dec. 4 against Leslie’s Poolmart Inc. for alleged product packaging violations in the sales of its two-pound “Fresh N Clear” oxidizer product.
Leslie’s has stores in Davis and Fresno.
The case focused on packages that appeared to hold more product than actually was present. No public health implications were alleged, and Leslie’s promptly took steps to assure that its products come into compliance with state packaging laws.
Without admitting wrongdoing, Leslie’s agreed as part of the settlement to pay $79,289. Leslie’s will donate $36,678 of the total settlement to purchase pool supplies and equipment for city and county swimming pools. The DA’s offices of Yolo and Fresno counties each will receive $21,000 to cover costs of the investigation and penalties.
