Sec. 76.046. DENIAL OR CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION.

(3) even if properly used, the pesticide is detrimental to vegetation, except weeds, to domestic animals, or to public health and safety;
(4) a false or misleading statement about the pesticide has been made or implied by the registrant or the registrant's agent, in writing, verbally, or through any form of advertising literature; or
