\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

In accordance with the Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Act, No. 12 of 2008, and its Regulations, it is an unlawful practice to engage in the repacking of chemicals not<\/g> in keeping with the provisions of Annex 4 of the Regulations.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The unauthorized repackaging of pesticides and toxic chemicals products is an offence<\/g> and further is a potential hazard to human health and the environment. Also, the removal of such products from their original packaging circumvents the associated safety features of the packaging, which poses a potential health risk and may compromise the efficacy of the product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the PTCCB<\/g> wishes to inform the general public that this practice is an offence<\/g>, and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $25,000.00 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or any combination of both. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The general public is encouraged to report suspected incidences of unauthorized repackaging of pesticides products to the office of the Registrar of Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals at telephone #: (268) 462-9191\/464-4448 or email pesticideboard@ab.gov.ag. <\/p>
