The order first states that the distribution or sale by any person is generally prohibited except for ensuring proper disposal or return to the registrant.
The order also states that growers and commercial applicators may use existing stocks that were in their possession on June 3, 2020, the effective date of the court decision. Such use must be consistent with the products' previously approved labels, and may not continue after July 31, 2020.
