What should be done if a pesticide label lacks complete information due to size limitations?

Requesting a supplemental label is the most appropriate action when a pesticide label lacks complete information due to size limitations. Pesticide labels are critical because they provide essential details about the product’s use, safety precautions, and application guidelines. If the main label is not sufficiently informative due to its size, a supplemental label can offer additional information necessary for the safe and effective use of the pesticide.

A supplemental label is an official document that may be issued by the manufacturer or regulatory agency, providing extra guidance that complements the main label. This ensures that users have access to all the necessary safety and usage information to minimize risks and comply with regulations.

Other responses do not provide an adequate solution to the problem. For instance, using a product without a label is unsafe and could lead to improper application and potential health or environmental hazards. Referring to a safety data sheet is beneficial for understanding the chemical properties and safety measures related to handling the pesticide but does not substitute for necessary usage information. Documenting the missing information may be useful for personal records but doesn’t resolve the issue of needing complete instructions for the product's safe and effective use.
