EPA v. BIO-LAB, INC.

Case summary

7/9/04 - STOP SALE, USE, OR REMOVAL ORDER ISSUED. SOME PRODUCTS MAY HAVE BEEN ADULTERATED BY THE HEAT, SMOKE AND WATER ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRE AND/OR THEIR LABELS MAY HAVE BEEN ALTERED SUCH THAT THE PRODUCTS MAY NO LONGER BEAR EPA ACCEPTED LABELS. A PESTICIDE IS MISBRANDED IF ANY INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE ACT IS NOT PROMINENTLY PLACED ON THE LABEL. WHILE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT ANY OF THE DISTRESSED PRODUCTS WERE IN FACT ADULTERATED, MISBRANDED, OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF FIFRA, BIO-LAB WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH THAT THE PRODUCTS IN QUESTION ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FIFRA, OR ALTERNATIVELY WOULD NEED TO REPROCESS AND/OR REPACKAGE AND RE-LABEL THE MATERIAL IN ORDER TO DISTRIBUTE THE PRODUCTS REGISTERED ANTIMICROBIAL PESTICIDES. BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTIES OF REPROCESSING AND/OR REPACKAGING AND RE-LABELING CERTAIN FORMULATIONS AND THE DESIRE TO FIND THE MOST ECONOMICAL AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL ALTERNATIVE FOR THE DISTRESSED PRODUCTS, BIO-LAB WISHES TO TRANSFER THE DISTRESS PRODUCTS TO RESPONDENT S&W CHEMICALS, INC. TO BE REFORMULATED AND USED AS NON-PESTICIDAL PRODUCTS.
