Honeywell agreed to pay an $800,000 fine.

The fine was the largest ever levied by a federal consumer agency in a case involving heater and furnace valves. The agency said the valves were associated with 22 deaths and 77 injuries. In addition to the fine, Honeywell agreed to spend an additional $4.2 million to inspect and repair or replace valves that may be faulty on liquefied petroleum gas furnaces and heaters, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. The agency had charged Honeywell with failing to report defects and hazards in the valves it produced. The company denied that anything was wrong with the valves.
