American Mold Guard, Inc. charged for violating federal pesticide laws
Los Angeles, CA: (Jun-14-07) The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), charged American Mold Guard, Inc., a San Juan Capistrano, CA mold prevention company, for allegedly violating federal pesticide laws. The EPA conducted an investigation that revealed that the company, had been repackaging AMG-X40, a registered pesticide, into 2 oz. containers, and distributing them as samples to customers who received its mold prevention services. The samples were missing most of the pesticide’s required labeling, including warnings against skin contact and first aid directions in case skin contact occurred. Federal laws state that producers, sellers, and distributors must ensure that pesticides are labeled with an EPA Registration Number, an EPA Establishment Number that identifies the production facility, information concerning the producer, directions for use and other safety information necessary to protect consumers and the environment.
As part o the settlement reached, American Mold Guard agreed to pay $11,700 to resolve alleged violations. This action was based on a December 2006 inspection conducted by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation at the EPA’s request. [EPA: PESTICIDE SAMPLES]
