Center for Food Safety Leads Lawsuit Against EPA for Unlawful Reapproval of Toxic Herbicide
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is being sued by the Center for Food Safety (CFS), Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA), and Alianza Nacional De Campesinas Inc. for the unlawful reapproval of toxic herbicides used in food agriculture. The chemicals in question, Enlist One and Enlist Duo, are sprayed on corn, soybeans, and cotton genetically engineered (GE) to resist the herbicides.
CFS lawyers assert that EPA unlawfully ignored the environmental and public health risks of Enlist herbicides.
