2-16-410. Misbranded pesticides.
A pesticide is misbranded:
(1) If its labeling bears any statement, design, or graphic representation relative to the pesticide or to its ingredients which is false or misleading in any particular;
(2) If it is an imitation of or is distributed under the name of another pesticide;
(3) If any word, statement, or other information required to appear on the label or labeling is not prominently placed thereon with such conspicuousness, compared with other words, statements, designs, or graphic matter in the labeling, and in such terms, as to render it likely to be read and understood by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and use;
(4) If the labeling does not contain a statement of the federal use classification under which the product is registered;
(5) If the labeling accompanying it does not contain directions for use which are necessary for effecting the purpose for which the product is intended, and the directions if complied with, together with any requirements imposed under section 3(3) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, are adequate to protect health and the environment;
(6) If the label does not bear:
(A) The name, brand, or trademark under which the pesticide is distributed;
(B) An ingredient statement on that part of the immediate container and on the outside container and wrapper of the retail package, if there is one, through which the ingredient statement on the immediate container cannot be clearly read, which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of purchase. The ingredient statement may appear prominently on another part of the container as permitted pursuant to Section 2(q)(2)(A) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act if the size or form of the container makes it impracticable to place it on the part of the retail package which is presented or displayed under customary conditions of purchase;
(C) A warning or caution statement which may be necessary and which, if complied with together with any requirements imposed under section 3(d) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, would be adequate to protect the health and environment;
(D) The net weight or measure of the content;
(E) The name and address of the manufacturer, registrant, or person for whom manufactured; and
(F) The United States Environmental Protection Agency registration number assigned to each establishment in which it was produced and the United States Environmental Protection Agency registration number assigned to the pesticide, if required by regulations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act;
(7) If that pesticide contains any substance in quantities highly toxic to man unless the label bears, in addition to other label requirements:
(A) The skull and crossbones;
(B) The word "POISON" in red prominently displayed on a background of distinctly contrasting color; and
(C) A statement of a practical treatment, first aid or otherwise, to be used in case of poisoning by the pesticide;
(8) If the pesticide container does not bear a registered label; and
(9) If a spray adjuvant label fails to state the type or function of the functioning agents.
