Plain-English summary
EPA has issued a Stop-Sale, Use, or Removal Order for GreenGrow "WeedClear" herbicide after the company discovered that approximately 11,200 bottles of concentrated herbicide were labeled as ready-to-use formulation. Application of the concentrated product at ready-to-use rates can severely damage residential lawns and gardens and may exceed EPA-approved exposure limits.
No human exposure incidents have been reported, but the EPA classifies mis-labeling of FIFRA-registered products as a serious violation. Consumers should not use the affected product, return it to the retailer for a full refund, and avoid skin contact with any spilled material.
