Fulfilling Legal Settlement with Limited Scope, EPA Cancels Twelve Neonicotinoid Products - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog (Beyond Pesticides, May 23, 2019) On Monday in the conclusion of a lawsuit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the final notices of cancellation on the registration of twelve neonicotinoid pesticide products in the Federal Register, each of which contains chlothianidin or thiamathoxam as an active ingredient. The decision to pull these products from the market was required as part of a legal settlement under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in December 2018 of a successful case, Ellis v.

Breaking down the impacts of the EPA ruling even […]

For all but two of the twelve newly canceled #neonicotinoid products, a nearly identical surrogate remains actively registered. While this is an important win, we need to move past "whack-a-mole" bans to #organicforall in order to #savethebees
