FAA PROPOSED CIVIL PENALTY
November 25, 2016
The FAA has proposed a civil penalty of $78,000 against Amazon.com Inc. for violating the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The FAA alleges that on August 7, 2016, Amazon offered for shipment via FedEx an undeclared package containing two 14-ounce bottles of an ethanol-based hair tonic –a flammable liquid. The package was not properly packaged, marked and labeled as containing hazardous materials, and Amazon did not provide the required emergency response information with the shipment.
