The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a $67,500 civil penalty against MIA Solutions, LLC of Doral, Florida, for allegedly violating U.S. Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations.
The FAA alleges that in October 2024, MIA Solutions offered a total of 17 shipments of JBL Endurance Race Bluetooth Earbuds containing lithium-ion batteries to DHL Express for air transportation. Lithium-ion batteries are classified as a hazardous material.
The shipments were allegedly not accompanied by the required hazardous materials transportation documentation, and the materials were not properly classed, described, packaged, marked, labeled, or in proper condition for shipment. Further, MIA Solutions allegedly did not provide emergency response information and failed to properly train the employee who prepared the shipments.
MIA Solutions has 30 days after receiving the FAA's notice to respond.
