Sacramento CA (5/25/2021) – Speakman Company (Speakman), is a New Castle, Delaware, based company that manufactures plumbing fittings. Speakman sold or offered for sale showerheads and lavatory faucets in California, from November 2016 to February 2020.

This case was the result of an investigation performed by California Energy Commission (CEC) staff. CEC’s investigation and testing process identified that Speakman was manufacturing and offering for sale showerheads and lavatory faucets that did not meet the efficiency standard and were not certified to the Modernized Appliance Efficiency Database System (MAEDbS).

To settle this matter, Speakman executed a Settlement Agreement with CEC on May 24, 2021, for $154,857.00. The penalty monies are deposited into the Appliance Efficiency Enforcement Subaccount established by SB 454 of 2011 (Pavley). Speakman has also agreed to a compliance plan to redesign the non-compliant models to meet the efficiency standard, offer a replacement program for products sold to California end-use consumers, and certify all models to MAEDbS before continuing to sell in California.
