EPA v. MARRONE BIO INNOVATIONS (0012)

Case summary

The Patriot Pure Personal Water Filters 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 labels. Therefore, importing the products in the shipment(s) 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 correctly file reports required by the Act. As required by 19 C.F.R. ? 12.114, a Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices (NOA), EPA form 3540-1, and a copy of one product label must be submitted.
