Changsha Tianbi Trading Company (Changsha) is a company that manufactures plumbing fittings based in China. Changsha sold or offered for sale showerheads in California from January 2024 to August 2024.

This case was the result of a complaint. CEC’s investigation and testing process identified that Changsha was manufacturing and offering for sale FEELSO brand showerheads that did not meet the efficiency standard, were not marked properly, and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To resolve this matter, Changsha executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on March 5, 2025, for $6,800.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount as required in Public Resources Code 25402.11. Changsha has also agreed to a compliance plan to ensure the proper flow restrictor is installed before shipping, add the appropriate marking, and discontinue sales of non-certified models.
