Gryphon Mobile Electronicsm LLC. (Powerall), is a Brea, California, based company who manufactures portable power banks. Powerall sold or offered for sale portable power banks in California, during the time period of July 2015 to July 2017.
This case started as an anonymous complaint. The Energy Commission's testing and investigation process identified Powerall manufacturing and offering for sale portable power banks containing a small battery charger system that was not marked properly and was not certified to the Appliance Efficiency Database (Database).
To settle this matter, Powerall executed a Settlement Agreement with the Energy Commission on August 8, 2018, for $30,000.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). Powerall has also agreed to a compliance plan to add the proper marking and test and certify each model to the Database before continuing to sell into California.
