The Federal Aviation Administration on September 11, 2026, proposed a $77,750 civil penalty against TiendaMIA Xipron, Inc., of Medley, Florida, for allegedly violating U.S. Department of Transportation hazardous materials regulations. TiendaMIA has 30 days after receiving the FAA’s notice to respond to the agency.
The FAA alleges that in November 2024, TiendaMIA offered a freight broker multiple pallets from an undeclared shipment that consisted in part of “EcoFlow River 2 Portable Power Stations.” The devices contained 256 watt-hour lithium-ion batteries, which are classified as hazardous material, and the freight broker forwarded the shipment to Avianca Cargo Air for transportation by air.
According to the FAA’s allegations, the shipment was not accompanied by the required hazardous materials transportation documentation. The agency also alleges that the materials were not properly classed, described, packaged, marked or labeled and were not in the proper condition for shipment.
The FAA further alleges that TiendaMIA did not provide the required emergency response information. It also alleges that the company failed to properly train employees who prepare hazardous-materials shipments for transportation by air. The proposed penalty remains subject to TiendaMIA’s response to the notice.
