Executive Summary
P&G CANADA HAD ARRANGEMENT FOR FREE OF CHARGE DISPOSAL OF HEAD & SHOULDERS waste product with Ianco Envirotech, Quality King alleges in a Feb. 9 countersuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. According to the Quality King filing, since at least 1992 Procter & Gamble Canada has not been disposing of Head & Shoulder scrap product and sub-par product "in licensed landfills as it had in years past." Instead, Quality King said, P&G saved money by delivering it free of charge to certain companies such as Ontario-based Ianco.
