Which statement about pesticide labels is NOT true?

• A. Labels include directions for use
• B. Labels are enforceable by law
• C. All requirements are on the attached pesticide label
• D. Labels describe storage and disposal

Answer: (C)

Pesticide labels are the legal guide for how a product can be used. They tell you exactly how to apply the product, including where, when, and how much to use, so you can achieve effective results while protecting people and the environment. The label is enforceable by law, which means you must follow its directions to stay compliant. It also covers storage and disposal, outlining how to keep the product safe when not in use and how to properly discard leftovers and empty containers.

But the idea that all requirements are on the label isn’t true. Some important information and requirements can appear in other documents that accompany the product, such as safety data sheets or state-specific labeling or supplemental labeling. Those materials provide additional safety or regulatory details beyond what the primary label includes.
