Summary

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted inspections of Vanson Halosources facility in Raymond, Washington on April 3, 2003, and January 13, 2005. At those times, EPA discovered containers of Sea-Klear Alternative Purifier for Spas? (EPA Reg. No. 70246-1-72083) with improper labeling. According to Section 12(a)(1)(B) and (E) of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136j(a)(1)(B) and (E), it is unlawful to distribute or sell any pesticide if claims made as part of the distribution or sale or sale of the pesticide substantially differ from any claims made as a part of the statement required in connection with registration under Section 3 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136a, and/or if the pesticide is misbranded. In addition, FIFRA regulations at 40 C.F.R. 152.132 state that the label of the supplemental distributors product must be the same as that of the registered product, except for the product name and the name and address of the distributor. The product found by EPA failed to comply with FIFRA in that the labeling affixed to the container, the sales and promotional materials, and the website include claims that do not comply with the requirements for the supplemental distribution of a pesticide. EPA is consequently issuing a Stop Sale, Use, or Removal Order for the Sea-Klear Alternative Purifier for Spas product.
