An Ohio air filter company was told to immediately halt the sale and distribution of two of its products because of the use of unregistered pesticides, under an order issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on July 18.
The EPA stated that Excell Air Filters’ products, “Antimicrobial Filter” and “Allergen Filter,” were treated with unregistered pesticides, in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). FIFRA is the federal statute that controls the registration, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides in the United States.
