Saturday, April 13.1974 Read Label Directions On Herbicide Contents Several reported poisonings resulting from ingestion of PARAQUAT, a weed killer, has led the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a warning to the general public to pay special at tention to the label precautions on herbicides containing the compound. Daniel J. Snyder, 111, Regional Administrator of EPA said that six PARAQUAT herbicides, used for week control in agricultural crops and around buildings, are currently registered by the agency. Although the products have different brand names, the labels on all of them indicate that they contain PARAQUAT. The EPA warning came in light of several reported poisonings apparently in volving accidental ingestion of the chemical. In Hawaii, one of the poisonings resulted in the death of a teenage boy.
