EPA v. Bonide Products, LLC

Case summary

Respondent imported two shipments of pesticides, one containing Captan Technical and one containing Mastercop. The Captan was not labeled with its EPA-accepted label and was missing multiple label elements required by 40 C.F.R. 156; the Captan was therefore unregistered and misbranded. The Notice of Arrival for the Mastercop described it as an EPA-registered pesticide; however, the Mastercop had a different formulation than the EPA-registered pesticide with that name and was imported for tests. Therefore, respondent failed to file the NOA properly. They have agreed to pay a penalty of $24,666 and return to compliance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
