Pesticide Product Recalls

No product recall announcements listed. (See item below "Consumer Alerts for pesticide products" for additional information.) Pesticide registrants are required to report any potential problems with EPA-registered pesticide products. EPA works with registrants to recall products deemed faulty or substandard or that could potentially cause consumer injury or harm the environmental. Registrants often voluntarily recall products and reformulate or repair potential hazards.
