The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced a settlement Tuesday with a California-based company that sold antimicrobial wipes that were illegally marketed as a sterilizing product. Daiso California LLC will pay a $602,386 fine after the company sold the wipes, Daisy Plus Wet Wipes, at its El Cerrito store and online. The labels created for the wipes claimed that the wipes were for sterilizing kitchenware and other items, the EPA said. Media representatives for Daiso didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
