Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Information on material pending legal proceedings is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth in Note 14, “Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies” to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We are reporting the following environmental matter in compliance with SEC requirements to disclose environmental proceedings where a governmental authority is a party and that involve potential monetary sanctions of $300,000 or greater.
In July 2022, GE’s Healthcare business received a notice of intention to impose an administrative fine of approximately $0.6 million related to a December 2019 liquid hazardous waste event at our Rehovot, Israel site. The event involved clean room waste that spilled onto an unsealed floor, leading to an escape of a small amount of liquid to a third-party facility on a lower floor. The Israeli Ministry of Environmental Protection (“MEP”) concluded that the incident breached the site’s toxins permit. In accordance with local law, GE HealthCare has responded to MEP’s notice of fine challenging both the basis for, and level of, the fine. A decision from MEP is pending.
