On November 9, 2009, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), on behalf of a female employee, filed a lawsuit in the Northern District Court of Texas, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, as amended, against Parfumes De Couer Limited, Inc. The EEOC sought reinstatement of the applicant, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and other forms of affirmative relief claiming that the defendant fired the complainant based on her sex because she was pregnant.

On March 23, 2001, the District Court (Judge Sidney Allen Fitzwater) entered a consent decree where the defendant, among other things, agreed to pay the complainant $5,000.
