Cause marketing on pesticide labels would allow manufacturers to place the symbols of well-known organizations to their products, such as in the deal Clorox made with the American Red Cross<\/a> last year. Attaching an image (like the Red Cross symbol) to a label can imply false safety of a product, which is a direct violation of EPA\u2019s own labeling law<\/a>. EPA\u2019s proposed law would allow any company to make similar partnerships, putting consumers at risk of misinterpreting the toxic nature of the product.<\/font><\/p>\n

Over the last year, states have vocally rejected the idea of cause marketing on labels. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture determined that \u201cthe inclusion of such a symbol and organization name on a pesticide label would constitute misbranding.\u201d Seven state attorney generals contested EPA\u2019s approval of the Clorox\/Red Cross label, again noting that it violated EPA\u2019s own standard. Dozens of public health and environmental groups have petitioned EPA to reverse its decision on Clorox\u2019s labeling, and have already commented on this notice. For more background on the proposed rule, see Daily News of December 21, 2007<\/a> and January 10, 2008<\/a>.<\/font><\/p>\n

TAKE ACTION<\/em><\/strong>: Your input is critical in helping EPA to disallow cause marketing and third-party labeling on pesticide labels. Please send your comments to EPA no later than March 27, 2008 in order to be considered. See sample letter<\/a><\/strong>.
