Summary

On September 16, 2011, Region 10 filed a Consent Agreement and Final Order that resolves FIFRA violations by Nufarm Americas, Inc., and Morrow County Grain Growers, Inc., for violations of FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(E). Information collected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) during a February 23, 2010, inspection of MCGG in Wasco, Oregon, showed that Nufarm, through MCGG, sold and distributed the pesticide products Weedone LV6 EC Broadleaf Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 71368-11) and Weedar 64 Broadleaf Herbicide (EPA Reg. No. 71368-1) with labels lacking important updates to the First Aid Statements. Nufarm is responsible for the labels of the products sold or distributed by Nufarm, or by agents of Nufarm. These labels need to be the current EPA approved labels. Nufarm failed to provide the updated labels to MCGG in a timely manner. Consequently, Nufarm is responsible for the misbranded labels on the Weedone LV6 EC and Weedar 64 products sold or distributed by MCGG. As the registrant, Nufarm is ultimately responsible for the integrity of all Weedone LV6 EC and Weedar 64 produced, sold and distributed by MCGG. Nufarm Americas, Inc., (Nufarm) agreed to pay $60,060.00 and Morrow County Grain Growers, Inc., (MCGG) agreed to pay $10,020.00.
