The EPA in a rare instance of actually doing its job by enforcing hazardous violations, has fined Perfect Expressions, a garden store in Ely, Nevada, $14,000 for selling banned insecticides. The products, Green Light's Dursban Granules and Ortho's Dursban and Dursban Lawn Insect Spray were ordered off the market and out of production by the EPA several years ago due to the reported connection between harmful exposure of Dursban's active ingredient, chlorpyrifos, to children.
Apparently, "Perfect Expressions" weren't so "perfect" after all.
