EPA Yanks ZEP Formula 165

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a Stop Sale, Use or Removal Order (SSURO) for ZEP Formula 165, a disinfectant intended for use in hospitals.

When ZEP 165 was examined under the EPA's antimicrobial testing program, it was determined that the product was ineffective against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, contrary to label claims.

The SSURO was issued to Zep, Inc. for selling and distributing a misbranded pesticide, which is a violation of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
