NOTICE OF FEDERAL STOP ORDER
On August 6th 2024 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued an emergency order to stop use of the pesticide Dacthal to address serious health risks. In response, the EPA has announced an emergency suspension of all registrations of the pesticide dimethyl tetrachloroterephthalate (DCPA or Dacthal).
There is one product currently registered within the state of Minnesota with this active ingredient: DACTHAL FLOWABLE HERBICIDE (EPA # 5481-487).
Please review the following language provided by the EPA for more information regarding this stop sale order:
“Effective immediately, no person in any state may distribute, sell, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for shipment, or receive and (having so received) deliver or offer to deliver to any person any pesticide product containing DCPA. Additionally, in accordance with FIFRA section 6(a)(1), EPA has elected not to permit the continued use of existing stocks, consistent with its policies applicable to cancellations where the Agency has identified significant risk concerns. See 56 FR 29362, 29367, June 26, 1991 (FRL-3845-4). Generally, the Agency will not permit continued distribution, sale, or use of a cancelled pesticide that raises risk concerns, absent a showing that the benefits of such use exceed the risks.”
