The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has obtained evidence indicating that Gus?s No Fuss Pool Service (hereinafter Gus?s) appears to be in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). On or around February 2, 2023, an inspector authorized by the EPA conducted an inspection at Gus?s facility located at 4501 Lafayette Street, Marianna, Florida 32446 to determine compliance with FIFRA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
The inspection revealed that Gus?s appeared to be repackaging and holding for sale or distribution Ultra Chlor Sodium Hypochlorite (EPA Reg. No. 72122-20002) with a misbranded label. The inspector observed that the label applied to the repackaged Ultra Chlor Sodium Hypochlorite product was missing directions for use which are necessary for effecting the purpose for which the product is intended and to protect health and the environment, as the language differed in multiple ways from the EPA-approved master label for the registered product (Ultrachlor 10.0% Solution; EPA Reg. No. 72122-20002; label approval date March 23, 2018).
