The information below is regarding the diazinon product stewardship program.  You
already may know, diazinon is being phased out of the marketplace.  But,
here are a few highlights that you may not be aware of or may
have forgotten about.

1. Last day retailers can sell diazinon is December 31, 2004.

2. Syngenta and Makhteshim will buy back all remaining inventory from
retailers after December
     31, 2004.

3. Marketers have agreed to stop selling product as soon as their
packaging supplies are depleted.

4. Manufacturers are recalling all obsolete formulator inventories
effective March, 2004.

5. Only 56% of retailers sold diazinon in 2003 compared to the year 2000.

6. Very little inventory remains in the big retailers, such as Home
Depot, Lowes, Walmart.

7. All remaining inventory not sold by retailers will be incinerated.

8. End-use products in the hands of consumers do not have to be
returned to the dealer/retailer.

They can be used up according to the label.

Hope this bit of information might generate some recall about the
fate of diazinon.
