Levi Strauss & Co.; Prohibited Trade Practices and Affirmative 
Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Modifying order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order reopens a 1978 consent order that settled 
allegations that the respondent had engaged in a number of 
anticompetitive practices, including fixing the resale prices at which 
retailers sold its products, and modifies the consent order by adding a 
provision to clarify that the order does not prohibit conduct by the 
respondent that is necessary to form and operate wholly-owned retail 
stores, or retail stores partially owned by the respondent in lawful 
joint ventures. The Commission found that the respondent had 
satisfactorily met its burden of showing that changed conditions of 
fact required the modification.

DATES: Consent order issued July 12, 1978. Modifying order issued 
December 20, 1994.\1\

    \1\Copies of the Modifying Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, H-130, 6th Street and 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20580.
