Innovative Brands, LLC Settles For $23,550
In August, 2026, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Innovative Brands, LLC (Innovative Brands), with its principal location in Allen Park, Michigan, for the company’s violations of the Regulation for Reducing Emissions from Consumer Products (Consumer Products Regulation), as codified in the California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 94507 et seq.
An investigation conducted by CARB Enforcement Division staff showed that Innovative Brands sold, supplied, offered for sale, or manufactured for use in California, a Nail Polish Remover and a General Purpose Cleaner (nonaerosol) that contained concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that exceeded the standards specified in the Consumer Products Regulation. In addition, the products used a code to represent the date of manufacture, but the company failed to provide an explanation of the code annually to CARB. To settle the case, Innovative Brands agreed to a total settlement amount of $23,550.
Innovative Brands cooperated fully with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, the company discontinued the General Purpose Cleaner and will ensure future stocks of the Nail Polish Remover comply with the VOC and product dating requirements. The total penalty amount will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality.
