Accufilter International, Inc.; Notice and Order of Revocation of Registrations

Résumé

On November 6, 1992, EPA issued registrations for Accufilter Straw, EPA Registration Number 64906-1, and Accufilter Sport Bottle, EPA Registration Number 64906-2. These silver-activated carbon filters are intended to remove the taste of chlorine and other sources of bad taste, odor, and color from drinking water. These registrations were based, in part, on receipt and review of water samples analyzed for silver content. EPA has subsequently determined that the registrant did not report the actual silver content in those water samples, but instead submitted false information showing the silver values to be lower than those actually obtained by the laboratory that conducted the sampling. Registrations obtained through the submission of false data are invalid for any purpose. By this notice, EPA announces and orders the revocation of registrations 64906-1 and 64906-2. As a result of these revocations, the sale, distribution, or use of existing stocks of these water filters after November 21, 1994 would be unlawful.
