Court Orders Warn Against Foot-dragging in Government Investigations

February 2, 2011

On October 29, 2010, Magistrate Judge John M. Facciola of the federal district court in Washington, D.C. gave Church & Dwight two weeks to respond to the entirety of a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") and subpoena that the FTC issued in early 2009.
