Product Information

Sara Lee maintains that there are no safety issues surrounding Vapona, since in 1999 the Health & Safety Executive granted a five-year licence to market the product.

Boots says that it has decided to stop selling products that contain dichlorvos, including Vapona and its own Slow Release Fly Killer. A Sara Lee spokeswoman says: “The decision to stop production has been taken for consumer safety reasons. We would like to reassure consumers that these strips are licensed as safe for household use.”Sara Lee Household & Body Care is ceasing the production of household insecticide products Vapona Fly Killer and Moth Killer strips over fears they could cause cancer. But a ban has yet to be announced, as the Government feels manufacturers need time to respond to findings released last year, which say there is a small chance long-term exposure to dichlorvos could cause cancer. According to the Government’s Advisory Committee on Pesticides (ACP), the sale, supply and use of products containing dichlorvos should stop, as it poses a cancer risk.
