Why Label & Claims Compliance Matters

Mislabeling and unsubstantiated claims are among the most common enforcement risks under FIFRA.

Unapproved Claims

Making efficacy, safety, or environmental claims that are not supported by the EPA-approved label or adequate data can result in enforcement actions and product recalls.

Inconsistent Messaging

Discrepancies between your EPA label and marketing materials create regulatory exposure and undermine product credibility.

Outdated Labels

Failing to update labels when regulations change or new data emerges can lead to non-compliance and market access restrictions.

Our Compliance Review Process

A systematic approach to identifying and correcting label and claims issues

01

Label & Materials Review

We conduct a thorough review of your existing labels, marketing materials, website content, and promotional assets to identify compliance gaps.

02

Regulatory Gap Analysis

Our team compares your current labeling and claims against EPA requirements, identifying specific areas requiring correction or substantiation.

03

Corrective Action Plan

We develop detailed recommendations for bringing all labels and claims into compliance, prioritized by risk level and business impact.

04

Implementation & Ongoing Support

PCCB assists with implementing changes, managing EPA submissions for label amendments, and establishing processes for ongoing compliance maintenance.

Common Label & Claims Issues We Address

Missing Precautionary Statements

Required warnings and safety statements missing or incomplete

Unapproved Use Claims

Marketing uses or pests not listed on the EPA-approved label

Inadequate Application Instructions

Vague or incomplete directions for use that don't meet EPA standards

Environmental Claims

Unsubstantiated claims about environmental safety or sustainability

Storage & Disposal Gaps

Missing or non-compliant storage and disposal instructions

State-Specific Violations

Labels that don't meet additional state requirements beyond federal EPA

Label & Claims Best Practices

Align Marketing with the Label

Every claim in your marketing materials—website, sales sheets, ads—must be directly supported by your EPA-approved label. If it's not on the label, don't claim it.

Document Everything

Maintain clear records of data supporting all efficacy and safety claims. This documentation is your defense in case of EPA inquiry or enforcement.

Review Regularly

Labels and claims compliance is not a one-time effort. Regular reviews ensure ongoing compliance as regulations evolve and your marketing adapts.

Educate Your Teams

Sales, marketing, and customer service teams must understand label limitations to avoid making unauthorized claims in communications.
