"Largest-Ever Pesticide Fine Imposed on 99¢ Only Stores"

"SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal judge has ordered 99¢ Only Stores to pay $409,490 in penalties for the sale of illegal unregistered and misbranded pesticides contained in household products.

Imposed after two years of litigation, the fine is the largest contested penalty ever ordered by an EPA administrative law judge against a product retailer under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

The case against 99¢ Only Stores concerned the sale of three cleaning and pest control products."
