DOE ordered Imbera S.A. de C.V. to pay a $89,286 civil penalty after Imbera had manufactured and distributed in commerce in the U.S. multiple units of the noncompliant Imbera commercial refrigerator model G326.  The Order adopted a Compromise Agreement, which reflected settlement terms between DOE and Imbera.

On March 26, 2020, DOE issued a Notice of Noncompliance Determination to Imbera finding that the commercial refrigerator model G326 does not comply with applicable energy conservation standards based on DOE testing and Imbera's concession that the model does not comply. Imbera provided DOE records showing the number of units Imbera distributed.
