## Summary

EPA Region 10 (EPA) issued a Stop Sale, Use or Removal Order (SSURO) to A-dec Inc. for selling an unregistered pesticide.  This action is the result of a tip received by EPA.  In response to the tip, EPA requested that the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) conduct an inspection of A-dec in Newberg, Oregon, which occurred on April 17, 2007.  The product in question, ICX, is a dental waterline cleaner.  ICX advertising, labeling, and the patent for ICX made claims about the antimicrobial efficacy of the product.  A-dec began registering the product with EPA in 2006, which was granted on September 19, 2008.  However, A-dec sold ICX before EPA accepted the registration and product labeling.  The SSURO covers all quantities of ICX packaged with labeling that is not EPA accepted.
