Montana HB522 creates laws related to pesticide warning labels, establishing that manufacturers, marketers, dealers, distributors, retailers, or sellers of a pesticide must warn consumers, applicators, and the public about the risks associated with the pesticide. The bill specifies that these entities satisfy their warning duty if the pesticide bears a label approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency and is registered with both the EPA and the Department of Agriculture. Liability for failing to warn cannot attach unless these entities fail to meet the warning requirements.
