The only use acceptable for this table is for soft surfaces. The product is being marketed for treatment soft surface areas. The use sites in this section are for non-hard porous surfaces. • On page 3, Under Directions for Use, contact times must be added "to spot sanitize" and "To use as a precleaner (sanitize[r])". • All references throughout the label that states "(x)" in conjunction with a claim for "minutes" or "hours" must be qualified with the actual contact time. • On page 5, the claim (spot clean and) must be removed. The way the claim is worded, the term may give the impression that "cleaning" is associated with pesticidal activity. • All references throughout the label that states "'eliminates', "controls", "sanitizes and eliminates...allergens", "permanently" or 'removes (x%)' in conjunction with the term "allergen" must be removed. These terms are false and misleading and may imply pesticide prevention. Moreover, no data were submitted to support the claims. • On page 5, the reference "(x%) of (bacteria)" must be qualified to "99.9% of bacteria". • On page 5, include the "ATCC numbers" for the organisms listed. • All references throughout the label that states "Controls", "destroys", "eliminates" and "eliminates... the growth" in conjunction with the term bacteria" must be removed.

Some of the claims may give the impression that "cleaning" is associated with pesticidal activity. On page 7, the claim "Large area sanitizer" must be removed. The directions for use of this product specify that sanitization is to occur for spot treatment areas. On page 7, remove the statements, "Goes beyond normal cleaning"; "Kills bacteria for a deep down clean"; and "Kills bacteria that ordinary cleaners don't". These terms are false and misleading because implies that "cleaning" has heightened efficacy. On page 8, delete "(& more)". The term is broad and ambiguous. On page 11, remove the claim, "No reselling". The term is false and misleading because it may imply that the product has residual activity. On page 11, remove the statement, "Safe for all carpets". This statement is misleading since efficacy data did not support use on all types of carpet fibers. All of the following claims listed throughout the label must be removed: o Protects families o Healthier Homes o Healthy Home o Designed with families... o Safe for families o Safe for children and pets o Family friendly o Pet and family friendly The claims are false and misleading and imply safety around families and children.
