Hartford Casualty Ins. Co. v. Vogue International,
Vogue International, LLC and Todd Christopher International, Inc. (each doing business as Vogue International; collectively Vogue) were sued in a consumer class action for falsely advertising cosmetic products as “organic.” (Golloher v. Todd Christopher International, Inc. (N.D.Cal. Case No. 3:12-cv-06002-RS); hereafter Golloher Action.) Vogue sought defense coverage for the suit from its insurer, Hartford Casualty Insurance Company (Hartford). Hartford denied a duty to defend or indemnify, and initiated this declaratory relief action in the Alameda County Superior Court. Vogue concurrently pursued a declaratory relief coverage action against Hartford in Florida, resulting in a judgment in favor of Hartford.
