If a pesticide label is partially missing, what should you do?

If a pesticide label is partially missing, obtaining a new label from the store is the most appropriate course of action. The pesticide label contains crucial information, including safety instructions, proper usage, application rates, and any specific legal requirements or restrictions associated with the product. Without complete and accurate information from the label, using the pesticide could lead to unsafe handling, ineffective application, or even illegal usage, which could pose risks to health and the environment.

Acquiring a new label ensures that you have all the necessary details to use the pesticide correctly and safely. This practice aligns with the principles of responsible pesticide use and helps prevent potential hazards that can arise from guesswork or reliance on memory regarding the product’s intended use and safety precautions.
