Pyranha, Inc. Settles For $25,000
In September 2022, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) reached a settlement with Pyranha, Inc. (Pyranha), with its principal location in Houston, Texas, in the amount of $25,000 for the company’s violation of CARB’s air quality regulations.
CARB staff conducted an investigation that revealed Pyranha sold, supplied, offered for sale and/or manufactured a flying bug insecticide (aerosol) product for use in California containing concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that exceeded the standards specified in California Code of Regulations, title17, section 94509(a).
The penalty in this case is $25,000 for 1.26 tons of excess VOC emissions. The $25,000 will be deposited into CARB’s Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California’s air quality. Pyranha cooperated fully with CARB to resolve this matter. To come into compliance, Pyranha is no longer offering the flying bug insecticide (aerosol) product for commerce in California.
