Should you wish to add/retain a reference to your company’s website on your label, then please be 

aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the EPA. If the 

website is false or misleading, the product will be considered to be misbranded and sale or distribution 

of the product is unlawful under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of 

statements the EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is 

referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those 

claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the EPA find or if it is brought to 

our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from 

the EPA-approved registration, the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance. 

Your release for shipment of this product constitutes acceptance of these terms. If these terms are not 

complied with, this registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6. A
