Florida S0518 prohibits products liability actions for pesticide manufacturers if the pesticide label meets federal standards.

Florida S0518 amends the Florida Pesticide Law to prohibit products liability actions based on failure to warn for pesticides if the label is approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, consistent with the latest human health risk assessment, or aligns with the EPA's carcinogenicity classification. However, manufacturers remain liable if they knowingly withheld or misrepresented information to obtain label approval. This change would take effect July 1, 2026.
