Hilton mold lawsuit settlement approved
A Honolulu judge approved a settlement worth $1.83 million for guests of the Hilton Hawaiian Village who stayed in the mold-contaminated Kalia Tower in 2002.
First Circuit Court Judge Eden Elizabeth Hifo approved the deal Monday between Hilton Hotels Corp. (NYSE: HLT) and 3,058 people who were hotel guests between June 14 and July 23, 2002.
Under the terms of the settlement, Hilton will pay either $150 in travel coupons or $50 in cash for each night of an eligible guest's stay. If the claims don't exceed $900,000, Hilton will give the remaining travel coupons to the American Red Cross.
Kalia Tower had been open for less than a year when mold was found in some of the rooms, the apparent result of faults in the air-conditioning system.
