Enforcement  |  OR  |  July 20, 2026

On July 16, 2026 the parties in Lollicup USA v. Feldon filed a stipulation, which the court entered, under which Oregon DEQ's Materials Management Program will not issue pre-enforcement notices against Lollicup USA or any member of the putative class through at least August 31, 2026, extendable by written consent. DEQ retains authority to investigate, issue warning letters, and conduct other pre-enforcement activity. Read the limit carefully: the Circular Action Alliance is not a party to the stipulation and may continue assessing fees, pursuing compliance actions, and publishing non-compliance lists. Lollicup's litigation deadlines are suspended pending the decision in NAW v. Feldon, with a joint status report due September 10, 2026. The docket number is not yet publicly confirmed.
