Reason for recall
The previously approved label for Velocity Selective Herbicide (approval number 62444/53867) has been used on some 20 L containers instead of the current approved label (approval number 62444/RV2024).
Hazard
On 1 February 2025, Velocity Selective Herbicide, previously a Schedule 6 poison, became a Schedule 7 poison following the rescheduling of bromoxynil to Schedule 7. Schedule 7 products are identified with the signal heading “DANGEROUS POISON” and must be stored in a locked room or place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers. The label 62444/53867 does not include these instructions and will not inform handlers or users about the correct scheduling and storage of the product.
What to do
Quarantine stock which has the Schedule 6 label (signal heading “POISON”, label approval number 62444/53867), ensure product is stored locked up and contact Bayer Customer Service or your local supplier for return and replacement stock.
