FUNGICIDE CONTAINERS MAY HAVE LABELING ERROR

Growers/dealers/distributors who purchased or are in possession of DuPont's Manex Fungicide, marketed in the 2.5 gallon jug, should check the label to make certain that the Agricultural Use Requirements textbox, which contains the Worker Protection Standard requirements, is present on each container.

Labels appearing on the Manex Flowable Fungicide containers sold between November 15 and March 27, 2006 are missing the entire Ag Use Requirements section, which growers should be in possession of prior to, after and while using this product.

DuPont will supply label leaflets for any mislabeled containers in an effort to right the situation. A more in-depth letter describing the circumstances and ongoing correction activities is available.

EPA and FDACS have been made aware of the situation, but assistance is needed to make sure every Manex container has the full, correct labeling accessible on the jug.
