UWC Reaches Settlement with EPA

[ingchr1]

...Get with your loved and hated aquarium supplement manufactures and make sure that they are compliant before they get into a lot of trouble too...

I'm not going to research it, but I wonder if any of the coral dips are compliant?

Definitions from the Final Order.

I don’t see any details. Were they fined because the products don’t do what they say, or because they didn’t register them?

Actually it isn’t, but when a post has a “TLDR” with a link, one should be able to safely presume that the link provided would have some details in it.

Because they advertised it as a pesticide and didn’t register it

All the details: UWC EPA Final Order

JayM was never heard from again rumor has it certain 3-letter agency took him.

I think I’ve lost count of how many 3 letter agencies likely have me on a list.

I briefly scanned the Final Order and it seems that the Government is more concerned that UWC didn’t pay the extortion - I mean fees - to register their products than whether or not they actually work (I’ve never used them, so I don’t know if they do or they don’t). That’s a problem.

If UWC got busted because they’re selling snake oil that simply doesn’t work, I’d consider it a win.

I’m probably already teetering on the edge of too much politics, so I’ll just leave it at that. There’s certainly much more to say.

What!?! Someone is actually facing consequences for their actions!

This takes me back to the greatest gif trolling thread in R2R history! (I’m still looking over my shoulder for the UWC hitman)
