Washington State Fines Amazon and Walmart for Selling Climate-Harming Cooling Products
Washington states Department of Ecology has imposed hefty fines on Amazon and Walmart for selling climate-harming cooling products, with Amazon owing $806,800 and Walmart facing $383,388. The fines come after years of warnings and support from the state to help both retailers comply with regulations. The issue revolves around cans of R-134a refrigerant, used to recharge car and truck air conditioners, often as a quick fix instead of addressing leaks. The fines are part of the states efforts to phase out refrigerants loaded with hydrofluorocarbons, powerful greenhouse gases. Both companies have 30 days to pay the fines or appeal to the states Pollution Control Hearings Board.
