Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025

The "Pesticide Injury Accountability Act of 2025" proposes to amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) by creating a new section establishing a private right of action. This provision would allow any person who has suffered injury to their property or person due to a pesticide to file a civil lawsuit. Such actions could be brought in Federal district court against the pesticide's registrant, seeking monetary damages. These damages may include both compensatory and punitive damages , at the discretion of the court, but would specifically exclude attorney's fees or court costs. Importantly, the bill clarifies that this new federal right of action will not preempt any existing State law claims related to pesticide injuries.
