MAY 5, 2025 - FIFRA NOTICE OF WARNING (NOW) WITHDRAWN BY EPA
Lewis Bamboo, Inc.: 10/11/2024
FIFRA Notice of Warning
Case File No. FIFRA-04-2024-3514
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has obtained evidence indicating that Lewis Bamboo, Inc., (Lewis Bamboo) appears to be, or has been, in violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
On or around March 18, 2024, an authorized representative of the EPA conducted an inspection at Lewis Bamboo (EPA Est. No. 94736-AL-1) located at 121 Creekview Road, Oakman, Alabama 35579. Lewis Bamboo manufactures, sells, and distributes the pesticide device Bamboo Shield, in various thicknesses (60, 80 and 100 millimeters), depths (24, 30 and 36 inches), and lengths (15-80 feet). The inspector took photographs of the label attached to the device, as well as the box that the product is shipped in.
Upon review of the photographs taken during the inspection, the EPA discovered the label included what appeared to be an EPA registration number as it included the text ?EPA Reg. No. 94736-DV-3.? However, pesticide devices do not require registration and therefore are not assigned EPA registration numbers. Consequently, the inclusion of an apparent EPA registration number on the label of a device is a false or misleading statement pursuant to 40 C.F.R. ? 156.10(a)(5)(v), because it indirectly implies that the device is recommended or endorsed by the EPA, an agency of the Federal Government.
