Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc., manufacturer of the TrueAir odor eliminator, announced today that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Virginia against Sunpentown International of City of Industry, California and Hung Hsing Electric Company Ltd. of Largo, Florida. The lawsuit charges Sunpentown and Hung Hsing with willful infringement of several patents related to Hamilton Beach's TrueAir odor eliminator. "For more than a century, Hamilton Beach's inventors have delighted consumers with creative, new appliances," said Dr. Michael J. Morecroft, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hamilton Beach. "Our line of TrueAir odor eliminators has revolutionized how consumers deal with unwanted odors," said Dr. Morecroft. TrueAir odor eliminators plug into standard wall outlets and eliminate, rather than mask, common household odors. Hamilton Beach has received several patents for this innovative line of products, and TrueAir products are the largest selling odor eliminating appliances in the North America.
