AI Summary
This bill establishes that any pesticide registered with the Department of Agriculture or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that has an EPA-approved label for use under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) is considered sufficient warning for legal actions related to the duty to warn or label, unless the EPA determines the manufacturer knowingly withheld information about human health risks. The bill also updates the definition of FIFRA to include its regulations and clarifies that it does not prohibit legal actions based on other state laws.
