The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency filed a nearly $1-million complaint against 99 Cents Only Stores alleging the company violated a federal act when it sold and distributed two unregistered pesticides in its stores throughout California. The EPA is asking for $969,930 in civil penalties from the company after it sold the unregistered pesticides , Farmer’s Secret Berry and Produce Cleaner, and Bref Limpieza y Desinfeccion Total , in several of its stores. The complaint also alleged the company sold a misbranded pesticide, PIC Boric Acid Roach Killer II, in its Nevada stores. The agency couldn’t immediately confirm whether the products had been sold in the Burbank store, at 2407 W. Victory Blvd., but warned residents to keep an eye out for the products.
