99 Cents Only stores caught selling toxic household products

[Comment:  Rest assured, bugs haven't returned "because DDT was banned" and they can be controlled without toxic pesticides.  No one should apply toxic pesticides to a bed where they put their face and skin and breathe all night.  Bed bugs probably haven't increased at all.  It's probably just a scare tactic and gimmick to sell pesticides.]
 
 
"EPA fines the chain a record $409,490 for dispersing dangerous, unregistered pesticides.

Common sense allows that anything toxic enough to kill bugs is toxic enough to harm you. Pesticides in the home can not only cause a buildup of residual toxins; they can easily enter your body. Short-term effects of pesticides are runny nose, headache and flu-like symptoms. Long-term effects can include cancer, as known carcinogenic ingredients exist in most pesticides."
