IN THIS EPA UPDATE:

EPA ISSUES CANCELLATION ORDER FOR CHLORPYRIFOS PRODUCTS

On January 25, 2002, EPA published a cancellation order for pesticide products containing chlorpyrifos registered by six companies, Dragon Chemical Corporation, The Scotts Company, Amvac Chemical Corporation, Contact Industries, Amrep, Incorporated, and Drexel Chemical Company. These products were registered for use in or around the home. The cancellation
order follows up on a December 5, 2001 notice of receipt of request for registration cancellations and is effective immediately. 

No further sale or distribution of affected products may occur. However, products already sold may continue to be used according to label directions. The list of affected products is in the Federal Register notice, which may be found at http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/EPAFR-CONTENTS/2002/ January/Day-25/contents.htm (or See List Below)

 Information on the assessment of chlorpyrifos and the agreement with registrants designed to reduce risks to children that resulted in these cancellations is available at
