(1) The pesticide or its labeling does not comply with this chapter or the rules adopted under this chapter; or
(2) The licensee fails to comply with the licensing procedures set forth by rules; or
(3) The claims, representations, or other statements on the label are false or misleading; or
(4) The proposed use would result in unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.
(b) To protect the health and environment, the department may, after hearing, cancel the license of a pesticide. This cancellation shall be made after the department has determined that the continued use of the pesticide would result in unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.
(c) If the department determines that action is necessary to prevent an imminent hazard during the time required for cancellation proceedings, the department may suspend the license of a pesticide immediately.
