WASHINGTON
� The U.S. Department of
Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $52,500 civil
penalty against Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters Inc., of Fountain Valley,
Calif., for allegedly violating Hazardous Materials Regulations. The FAA alleges that on Dec.
16, 2014, a Gaffoglio employee checked a bag containing undeclared hazardous
material onto a passenger-carrying flight at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The
bag allegedly held six containers of flammable liquid adhesive, one can of
flammable aerosol and one can of non-flammable aerosol. The items were discovered when
security officers screened the luggage. The FAA alleges the
package was not properly described in shipping papers, packaged, marked, or labeled
under the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The FAA also alleges the company did
not provide required hazardous materials training to the employee who prepared
the shipment, and did not provide emergency response information with it. Gaffoglio Family
Metalcrafters has 30 days from receipt of the FAA�s enforcement letter to
respond to the agency. ###
