Prevents preemption of state law claims consistent with misbranding standards under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.
The Americans vs. Poisonous Pesticides Act amends the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to ensure that state law claims on pesticide misbranding are not preempted if they align with the Act's misbranding standards. It also allows pesticide registrants to amend pesticide labeling to address potential misbranding without prior approval from the Administrator if new information about health or environmental effects emerges. The amendments apply to all pending and future civil actions, regardless of when the conduct occurred.
