# Kentucky AG Seeks Bankruptcy Safeguards

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman joined a multistate filing in Character Technologies, Inc.’s bankruptcy proceeding seeking protections for children and consumers if the company’s assets or business are sold. The filing also preserves the states’ ability to challenge a proposed sale or bankruptcy plan and seek safeguards for consumer data. No solicitation, contract award, or other procurement opportunity is identified; procurement teams should treat this as a potential supplier-continuity and data-risk issue only if they have a documented relationship with the company.

- Agencies and contractors with an existing relationship involving Character Technologies should assess whether a potential sale could affect service continuity or the handling of consumer data.
- The filing does not establish new procurement requirements or a compliance deadline, and the signals provide no contract details or procurement contacts.
- The listed Kentucky Attorney General contact is Lauren.Adams@ky.gov; the source identifies it as a contact for the announcement, not as a procurement inquiry channel.
