Region 7 has developed a flier to inform and educate marketplaces about the risks involved in selling unregistered pesticide products, which might be hazardous to human health, and about the laws associated with knowingly selling such products. Special emphasis has been placed on markets that sell imported goods. This flier has been translated into 6 different languages. The goal is that unregistered pesticides are removed from store shelves.
