Heading: Defective manufacture and defective application instructions.

Text: In his petition, plaintiff Wright alleged that American Cyanamid defectively manufactured and/or rendered defective application instructions for the herbicides. We agree with the district court's finding that plaintiff presented no evidence to support his claim that defendant defectively manufactured Pursuit. Thus, all that remained of plaintiff's claim was that defendant's application instructions were defective and that Pursuit did not work, and thus, control of tall waterhemp should not have appeared on the label. As the district court properly found, plaintiff's claim was a direct challenge to the information contained on the label and thus was preempted by FIFRA. Accordingly, the district court properly sustained American Cyanamid's motion for summary judgment concerning plaintiff's claims for defective manufacture and defective application instructions.
