Comment Submissions - Notice of Modification to Proposed Regulation on Safe Harbor Warnings for Glyphosate and Addition of Documents to Rulemaking File

The existing warning label on glyphosate products sold in California is biased in favor glyphosate and the proposed revision of the label is equally biased because it refers to “other authorities” that agree with EPA’s assessment that glyphosate is “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” without making a similar statement about the assessment of the International Agency for Research on Cancer that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic.” As you know, IARC is far from the only authority that considers glyphosate a probable carcinogen and the warning label should reflect that fact. Numerous cities, counties, states and countries throughout the world have taken steps to either restrict or ban glyphosate based on the IARC assessment of glyphosate: https://www.baumhedlundlaw.com/toxic-tort-law/monsanto-roundup-lawsuit/where-is-glyphosate-banned-/ The warning label for glyphosate should be revised to correct the bias in favor of glyphosate by adding the phrase “other authorities have made similar determinations” to this sentence: “The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans.” Thank you for your consideration.
