EPA v. Brinda H2O Food Cleaner (Model: Lotus)

Final Order No Penalty

Case summary

For the Brinda H2O Food Cleaner (Model: Lotus), the website provided by broker contained the pesticide claims ?Sterilizes 99.99%? and ?Eliminates salmonella and other viruses and bacteria present in meats?. These claims are overly broad and constitute a public health claim and, therefore, are not acceptable. Also, no efficacy data was provided for the food cleaner device claims regarding viruses or bacteria, therefore the device described above is misbranded as that term is defined in Section 2(q)(1)(A) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. Section 136(q)(1)(A).
