EPA v. Ariix LLC (COVID-19) (002)

Case summary

The Puritii Air Filter Devices are misbranded pursuant to FIFRA section 2(q)(1), 7 U.S.C. ? 136(q)(1) because there is no EPA Establishment Number, no directions for use, and no caution or warning statements on their label or labelling. Therefore, these products are misbranded pursuant to 7 U.S.C. ? 136(q)(1). Importing these products in the shipment referenced above is a violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(F), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(1)(F), as a distribution or sale of a misbranded device. The shipment that arrived at the border for import is also in violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(2)(N), because a registrant, wholesaler, dealer, retailer, or other distributor failed to file reports required by the Act. As required by 19 C.F.R. section 12.114, a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices, EPA form 3540-1, and a copy of one product label must be submitted.
