pesticide that is registered pursuant to K.S.A. 2-2204, and amendments
thereto, or 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq. and displays a label that meets one of the
following requirements shall be deemed to satisfy any requirement for
warning or labeling regarding health or safety under article 22 of chapter 2
of the Kansas Statutes Annotated, and amendments thereto, and any other
statutory or common law concerning the duty to warn or label:
(1) The label is consistent with the most recent human health
assessment performed under 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq.; or

action that are unrelated to product warnings or labeling.
