Goplus Corp. Settles For $8,500
In October 2023, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Goplus Corp. (Goplus), with its principal location in Fontana, California, for the company’s violation of the Regulation for Limiting Ozone Emissions From Indoor Air Cleaning Devices (Indoor ACD Regulation), as codified in the California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 94800 et seq.
CARB staff conducted an investigation that revealed Goplus manufactured for use in California, sold, supplied, offered for sale, or introduced into commerce, indoor air cleaning devices that did not have the required CARB certification (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, § 94802). Goplus also did not provide the true and accurate copy of the Indoor ACD Regulation to their known distributors, retailers, and sellers who supply, offer to sell, or sell the uncertified indoor air cleaning devices. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, § 94807.)
Goplus cooperated fully with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, Goplus is no longer offering the noncompliant indoor air cleaning device in California. The penalty of $8,500 for the violations listed above will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality.
