Lampert said the company would take whatever legal action required. A spokeswoman for Techtronic did not immediate respond to a request for comment. One World Technologies has been paid more than $868 million since 2007, Lampert said. He noted that Sears Holdings buys more than $13 billion a year in goods and services from all of its vendors combined and "we have always met our payment obligations." Soon after the post was published, Sears filed suit against One World in District Court in Cook Country, Illinois, where Sears is headquartered. Last week, at Sears' annual shareholder meeting, Lampert criticized the media for recent articles raising the specter of a Sears' bankruptcy mind plunging sales and liquidity challenges, saying such stories were making Sears' turnaround harder to pull off and only focused on the company's problems without covering areas of success.
