The Environmental Protection Agency is cracking down on unregistered pesticides that can be found in various cleaning products that claim to kill bacteria, viruses, and microbes.
According to a news release, the EPA issued “Stop Sale, Use, or Removal Orders” following inspections at marketplaces in Houston and San Antonio.
