*[Enwl-eng] Weedkiller linked to organ failure and cancer remains legal and popular in the U.S.

Lives are at risk. We demand a ban. It Could Damage Your Organs, Wreck Your Nervous System, and Even Cause Cancer. Demand the U.S. Ban This Weedkiller Ingredient.      Sign Now        Diquat is the terrifying herbicide ingredient you've probably never heard of. It could damage your organs, harm your nervous system, and even cause cancer.   And while countries around the world have banned this substance for its toxicity, the U.S. is dragging its heels — and risking lives.   You see, herbicide producers have come under fire for using the highly toxic ingredient, glyphosate, in their products. As a 'solution', they're replacing glyphosate with something that could be even more dangerous: diquat.  Not only can diquat kill gut bacteria and permanently damage organs, it is thought to be a neurotoxin, cancer-causing, and linked to Parkinson's disease! So why isn't the EPA, the government agency charged with regulating substances like this one, doing anything about it? Phasing out one deadly ingredient, only for it to be replaced with an even more dangerous one, is not just ridiculous, it's bad policy. The EPA must immediately regulate diquat, like so many other countries already have, before thousands of Americans suffer the consequences. Sign now to tell the EPA: no more cancerous weedkiller ingredients! Ban diquat now! Thank you, Sophie Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Diquat is banned in many countries for its harmful affects on people, but the United States is refusing to ban it! Sign the petition.      Sign Now
