Yosemite Home Décor (YHD) is a Fresno, California, based company that manufactures plumbing fittings. YHD sold or offered for sale plumbing fittings in California, from July 1, 2015, to June 18, 2020.

This case was the result of an investigation performed by California Energy Commission (CEC) staff. CEC's investigation and testing process identified that YHD was manufacturing and offering for sale kitchen faucets, lavatory faucets, and showerhead-tub spout diverter combinations that did not meet the efficiency standard, failed the marking requirement, and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, YHD executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on May 12, 2021, for $8,295.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). YHD has also agreed to a compliance plan to redesign the non-compliant models to meet the efficiency standard, add the appropriate marking, and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
