Qualifies: A final regulator or court order or finding, guilty plea, completed settlement, or final regulator finding followed by a completed corrective action must name the company, a consumer-protection law or legally protected customer safety, accessibility, refund, subscription, or pharmacy duty, and a penalty or remedy. A completed settlement qualifies without an admission, but the displayed finding must preserve the exact procedural state and any no-admission language. An entered judgment remains a qualifying judgment while an appeal is pending unless the evidence says it was stayed, vacated, or reversed; preserve the appeal in the displayed finding.

Excludes: An allegation, complaint, warning, pending case, subjective customer criticism, ordinary contract dispute, or deceptive practice already recorded under the more specific consumer-deception behavior.
