Louis Vuitton North America, Inc., Settles For $3,000
In May 2024, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Louis Vuitton North America, Inc. (Louis Vuitton) with its principal location in New York, New York, for the company’s violation of the Regulation for Reducing Emissions From Consumer Products (Consumer Products Regulation), as codified in the California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 94807 et seq.
CARB staff conducted an investigation that revealed Louis Vuitton sold, supplied, offered for sale or manufactured for use in California, personal fragrance products utilized codes that did not attribute to a specific month, day, and year and therefore did not meet the requirements as stated in California Code of Regulation, title 17, section 94512(b)(1).
Louis Vuitton fully cooperated with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, Louis Vuitton will modify their coding system to meet the requirements of Section 94512(b)(1). The penalty of $3,000 for failing to meet administrative requirements will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality.
