EPA v. Rosewill, Inc. 7/23/2020 Entry Number EKH-0727620-0 (COVID-19)

Case summary

The 75% Alcohol Hygiene Wipes described above is an unregistered pesticide. The distribution of an unregistered pesticide is an unlawful act under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(A), 7 U.S.C. section 136j(a)(1)(A). All pesticides are required to be registered with EPA before their entry into the United States (unless certain exemptions are met), and pesticides entering the United States cannot be misbranded. Therefore, this entry is denied pursuant to Section 17(c) of FIFRA 7 U.S.C. section 136o(c). Additionally, the 75% Alcohol Hygiene Wipes did not bear an EPA establishment number and it is unlawful for a producer to produce a pesticide in an unregistered establishment pursuant to Section 12(a)(2)(L) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. section 136j(a)(2)(L). Finally, the Notice of Arrival of Pesticides and Devices was not filed on EPA Form 3540-1 in accordance with 19 C.F.R. section 12.112. Failure to file a report required by the Act is a violation of FIFRA Section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. section 136(j)(a)(2)(N).
