## Summary

This Water Filter is misbranded pursuant to FIFRA section 2(q)(1), 7 U.S.C. ? 136(q)(1), because the labeling fails to bear the establishment number of the establishment where it was produced. Accordingly, based on the information provided, importing the product in the shipment
referenced above is a violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(F), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(1)(F), as a distribution or sale of a misbranded device.
Montbell America Inc. did not file a copy of the label with form 3540-1, as required by 19 C.F.R. section 12.112, prior to the arrival of a shipment in the United States. Therefore, the shipment that arrived at the border for import was also in violation of FIFRA section 12(a)(2)(N), 7 U.S.C. ? 136j(a)(2)(N), because a registrant, wholesaler, dealer, retailer, or other distributor failed to correctly file reports required by FIFRA.
