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).

EPA Bites Back at Bed Bugs
The Environmental Protection Agency is biting back at nuisance bed bugs by providing consumers with a Bed Bug Search Tool on their website. Consumers can use the tool to search for an EPA-approved bed bug product by the product name, manufacturer, EPA registration number, where they plan to use the pesticide or pesticide type.
The site also addresses why some treatments might not work, such as failure to use them correctly or inadequately preparing an area before using a treatment.
