The EPA is seeking a penalty from The Clorox Company, located at 1221 Broadway for distributing export-only unregistered pesticides within the United States. In addition, the disinfectants contained Chinese and English labeling, without adequate directions for use and lacked the required statement: “Not Registered for Use in the United States of America.”
