Mr. Bar-B-Q Products LLC Settles For $30,000
In February 2026, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Mr. Bar-B-Q Products LLC (Mr. BBQ) with its principal location in Hauppauge, New York, for the violation 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.
A CARB staff investigation revealed that Mr. BBQ sold, supplied, or offered for sale in the State of California charcoal lighter material products that did not meet certification requirements. (Cal. Code Regs., tit. 17, § 94509(h).) To settle the case, Mr. BBQ agreed to the penalty of $30,000 for the violation. The amount will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality.
Mr. BBQ cooperated fully with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, Mr. BBQ is in the process of certifying the charcoal lighter material.
