## Summary

On August 29, 2023, EPA Region III entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with Bortek Industries, Inc. (?Respondent?) alleging violations of FIFRA and implementing Pesticide Program regulations promulgated at 40 C.F.R. Parts 150 -189, Subchapter E, in connection with the distribution and/or sale of the unregistered pesticide Lavkleen Eco.  This enforcement action furthers FIFRA?s purpose of promoting environmentally safe and effective pesticide use and prevents the potentially harmful use of pesticides. On May 12, 2022, an EPA Inspector conducted an unannounced FIFRA producer establishment inspection. On March 8, 2023, EPA issued a Notice of Potential Violation and Opportunity to Confer.  The Consent Agreement alleges that Respondent violated FIFRA and EPA?s Pesticide Program regulations by selling Lavkleen Eco with pesticidal claims, without the product being registered under FIFRA . The negotiated penalty for the violations of FIFRA alleged in the Consent Agreement is Thirty-One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty Dollars ($31,920).  There are no EJ concerns regarding this action.  EPA notified the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.
