Aldis Manufacturing Ltd.

Wilsonville, OR: (Jun-04-07) The US Environmental Protection Agency filed an environmental pollution lawsuit against Aldis Manufacturing Ltd., located in Wilsonville, Oregon, claiming that the company violated the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). According to EPA, on February 5, 2007, Aldis submitted a Notice of Arrival of pesticides and devices through their import broker declaring that they planned to import 95,400 kilograms of their recently registered pesticide, "Kull 62 MUP." "Kull 62 MUP" is a glyphosate-based chemical used in manufacturing other herbicide formulations and is produced in China. FIFRA requires that importers submit a Notice of Arrival to EPA with information about any pesticide shipments due to enter the United States. EPA then reviews the Notice of Arrival to ensure that the pesticides comply with FIFRA and are properly registered and produced in EPA registered establishments before allowing them into the country. In a settlement reached, Aldis Manufacturing agreed to pay $3,120 as a penalty. [WEBWIRE: FIFRA VIOLATIONS]
