The long-standing debate over malathion's safety culminated in a lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity, which claims it fails to protect significant wildlife and plant species.
In 2017, USFWS scientists warned that a single malathion exposure 'could be catastrophic', yet their findings were ignored after a political reversal.
Despite past warnings, the USFWS concluded in 2022 that malathion does not pose an extinction risk, raising concerns over the pesticide's impact on vulnerable species.
