Raza Enterprises, doing business as Expo Furniture Gallery, Settles For $6,000
In November 2023, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Raza Enterprises, doing business as Expo Furniture Gallery (Expo Furniture), with its principal location in Sacramento, California, for the company’s violation of the Airborne Toxic Control Measure to Reduce Formaldehyde Emissions from Composite Wood Products (Composite Wood Regulation), as codified in California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 93120 et seq.
Expo Furniture violated the Composite Wood Regulation requirement by purchasing furniture made of composite wood without taking reasonable precautions. Expo Furniture failed to ensure that its products were compliant with the applicable emissions standards as set forth in the Composite Wood Regulation.
To come into compliance, Expo Furniture has instructed each supplier that the products they supply to Expo Furniture must comply with the applicable emissions standards, and Expo Furniture will obtain written documentation from each supplier confirming their products are compliant. The total penalty amount will be deposited into CARB's Air Pollution Control Fund for the purpose of carrying out CARB's duties and functions to ensure the integrity of its air pollution control programs.
