$4,000 in Fines Paid by Porsche

On June 17, 2003, Enforcement staff obtained a sample of Porsche Inside Glass Cleaner from a Porsche dealer in San Diego, California. The Monitoring and Laboratory Division subsequently analyzed the sample for VOC content. The sample was determined to be 20.3 percent VOC which exceeded the 6 percent VOC limit for glass cleaners manufactured after January 1, 1996 and before December 31, 2004. Furthermore, the product did not contain a date of manufacture or representative code thereof. On March 15, 2005, Porsche settled the violations with a payment of $4,000.
