EPA v. Robert Heck (0015)

Final Order No Penalty

Case summary

Disinfectants are designed to kill pests, specifically germs or microorganisms, and are considered pesticides. The labels of the Brominating Tabs and the Brominating Granules contain pesticidal claims indicating pesticidal intent. The Brominating Tabs and the Brominating Granules have not been registered with the EPA. FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(A) (7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(1)(A)) states that it is unlawful for any person to distribute or sell any pesticide that is not registered under section 3 of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. ? 136a). Therefore, these products in the shipment listed above are considered unregistered pesticides and should not be allowed entry into the United States
