Company fined for smog-forming compounds in ‘Gorilla Snot’ hair gel

“It was the styling product’s smog-forming compounds that prompted California air regulators to take action against Midway Importing Inc.  The Houston-based company, which distributes health and beauty care products nationwide, paid $213,000 in fines for selling the line of hair gel in violation of consumer product regulations designed to protect air quality, the California Air Resources Board said Monday.  During routine inspections in 2010, state investigators bought Moco de Gorila Gel Estilo Galan hair gel.  The state board estimated the hair products contributed an additional 23.9 tons of pollutants into California’s air and fined the company $8,900 per ton.”
