EPA v. Avery Dennison Corporation

Case summary

Failure to notify EPA of new chemicals being produced and distributed in commerce prior to an Agency risk assessment puts the public at risk or potential risk of exposure should chemical controls have been necessary. Failure to report export of designated chemicals to EPA precludes advance notification of these chemical shipments to foreign governments as required by TSCA. As a part of meeting the conditions of the audit policy, respondent was required to remedy this matter.
