Settled, terms unknown to speaker. The first major class-action response to the lightning-fire problem.

Do you think people would be happy? Probably not. In fact, in 2003 there was a class action in Arkansas. The class action got settled — I don't even know what happened beyond that. One county in Texas has outlawed the use of this stuff, so it's no longer legal in that county. Most other places haven't. Until September 1st of 2011, they kept selling this because it was eight percent cheaper than their version. They were trying to get a markup for the safe product while still selling the unsafe product. That's really responsible.
