Who must obtain the supplemental 24 labeling prepared by the manufacturer?

1. The end consumer

2. The farmer

3. The dealer supplying the product

4. The state regulatory agency

The correct answer is: The dealer supplying the product

The correct answer is that the dealer supplying the product must obtain the supplemental 24 labeling prepared by the manufacturer. This is because dealers are responsible for ensuring that they provide end users with the necessary information regarding pesticide products, including any supplemental labels that may accompany the original packaging. The supplemental 24 labeling provides important information about the safe and effective use of the pesticide in specific situations, which is essential for compliance with both state and federal regulations. It enables dealers to convey any critical updates or instructions related to the use of the pesticide, ensuring that farmers and other end consumers are fully informed about how to apply the product safely and effectively. End consumers typically do not have direct access to these supplemental labels unless they are provided through the dealer because they are usually not part of the supply chain responsible for labeling information. Farmers may benefit from the information but rely on the dealer to obtain it. State regulatory agencies focus on enforcing compliance and regulating the use of pesticides rather than collecting labels, so their role is different from that of the dealer. Therefore, the dealer plays a vital role in obtaining and distributing this supplemental labeling to ensure that all users receive critical safety information related to the pesticide.
