Which statement about FIFRA is false?

Which statement about FIFRA is false?

• A. A Approved pesticide labels have the force of law
• B. B The EPA has the authority to remove pesticide products from the market
• C. C None of the above
• D. D State restrictions on pesticides can be more relaxed than those of FIFRA

Answer: (D)

Under FIFRA, the federal baseline rules apply to pesticide labeling and safety, and what’s on the label acts as the law for how a product can be used. States are allowed to tighten rules beyond those federal standards, but they cannot relax protections below what FIFRA requires. That means the statement that state restrictions can be more relaxed than FIFRA is not correct. The other points are accurate: approved pesticide labels have the force of law, and the EPA can remove pesticide products from the market through regulatory action.
