PERFECT FIT INDUSTRIES, INC. v. ACME QUILTING CO.
United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit (1981) | 646 F.2d 800
TL;DR: A company copied its competitor's packaging. A federal court ordered a product recall as a remedy. The court affirmed the recall as within its broad equitable powers and held the copier in contempt for failing to comply with the order.
Legal Significance: Establishes that federal courts' broad equitable powers include ordering product recalls for unfair competition, even if state law does not explicitly provide for such a remedy. A party cannot claim ignorance of an order to avoid contempt if they failed to diligently ascertain its terms.
