BV USA ENTERPRISES, INC. (BV USA) is an Elk Grove Village, Illinois, based company that manufactures residential exhaust fans and rechargeable flashlights. BV USA sold or offered for sale residential exhaust fans and rechargeable flashlights in California, from January 2016 to October 2019. 

This case was the result of an anonymous complaint. The California Energy Commission's (CEC) investigation process identified that BV USA was manufacturing and offering for sale residential exhaust fans and rechargeable flashlights containing federally regulated battery chargers that were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, BV USA executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on DATE, for $39,282.88. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). BV USA has also agreed to a compliance plan to test and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
