Summary

AKE manufactures a fire extinguisher product called STOP-FYR? which is composed of Halon 1211, a class I ozone-depleting substance. Specifically, AKE violated Subparts E (the Requirements for Labeling of Products Using Ozone-Depleting Substances) and H (Halon Emissions Reduction) by failing to properly label its STOP-FYRE product as containing an ozone-depleting substance and by releasing Halon 1211 to the environment during promotional demonstrations. AKE has corrected the violations by properly labeling its STOP-FYRE products and ceasing to perform demonstrations that release Halon 1211 to the environment. This CAFO will resolve the violations alleged in a Finding of Violation dated November 13, 2019, and will require AKE to pay a penalty of $52,345.
