EPA v. Mastercraft Tools Florida

Case summary

This case addresses violations of the Clean Air Act (CAA) by Mastercraft Tools Florida, Inc. ( Mastercraft ), a hardware merchant wholesaler located in Mami, Florida. Mastercraft imported 1150 Chinese uncertified gasoline powered generators ON July 6th 2010 and July 9th, 2010. These engines were not covered by an EPA issued Certificate of Conformity. These generators also did not bear the required emissions labels nor was the required warranty information provided for the 253 generators that Mastercraft sold. The CAA requires that nonroad equipment be covered by an EPA issued Certificate of Conformity (see 40 C.F.R. 90.1003) and that it bear an emissions label and be sold with the required warranty. As part of the settlement with EPA, Mastercraft paid a $19,000 civil penalty and exported the generators to countries other than the United States, Canada or Mexico.
