What US FIFRA (7 USC ch 6): Pesticide Registration, Labeling and Penalties requires
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. ch. 6) is the principal US statute governing the sale, distribution and use of pesticides, administered by the Environmental Protection Agency. Section 136 provides the definitions. Section 136a requires every pesticide to be registered with the Administrator before it may be sold or distributed, on a finding that it will perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. Section 136a also requires approved labeling, and use inconsistent with the labeling is restricted. Section 136j sets out the unlawful acts, including distributing an unregistered or misbranded pesticide and using a registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Section 136l sets the penalties: a registrant, applicant or distributor is subject to a civil penalty of not more than 5,000 dollars for each offense, and a private applicator to not more than 1,000 dollars; criminal penalties for a knowing violation reach a fine of not more than 50,000 dollars or imprisonment for not more than 1 year for a registrant, and a fine of not more than 1,000 dollars or imprisonment for not more than 30 days for a private applicator. The Act is the legal foundation for US pesticide market authorization and use control.
