Summary

On May 6, 2024, EPA filed an Expedited Settlement Agreement (ESA) with The Gillette Company AMC, operated by The Gillette Company, LLC, thereby resolving alleged violations of the Clean Air Act's Risk Management Program (RMP), promulgated pursuant to Section 112(r) of the Act, at the company's plant in Andover, Massachusetts. The company uses flammable gases, including isopentane and isobutane, as propellants in its manufacturing of shaving cream products. The company failed to timely resubmit its Risk Management Plan and properly label doors and piping. The ESA requires compliance and payment of total penalties of $5,000. Massachusetts is not delegated to implement this program.
