PurposeBuilt Brands, Inc. and Weiman Products LLC Settles For $250,000
In August 2025, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and PurposeBuilt Brands, Inc. (PurposeBuilt) and Weiman Products LLC, with its principal location in Gurnee, Illinois reached a settlement for violations of CARB’s Regulation for Reducing Emissions from Consumer Products (Consumer Products Regulation), as specified in California Code of Regulations, title 17, sections 94507 et seq.
An investigation by CARB staff revealed PurposeBuilt sold, supplied, offered for sale, or manufactured for use in California, a Nonselective Terrestrial Herbicide (nonaerosol) that contained a concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOC) exceeding the standards specified in the California Code of Regulations, title 17, section 94509(a).
PurposeBuilt fully cooperated with CARB to resolve this matter and ceased sales of the noncomplaint product in California. The full 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.
