In which type of containers is it illegal to store pesticides?

It is illegal to store pesticides in containers typically used for food, drink, or household products because these containers can easily lead to accidental ingestion or contamination. Utilizing such containers for pesticide storage poses significant health risks, especially if someone mistakes the pesticide for a consumable product. This regulation is in place to ensure safety and prevent harmful exposure to pesticides that could occur if they are mistakenly used or consumed from improper containers.

The other types of containers—plastic, glass, and metal—might be legally permissible for pesticide storage, provided they are not repurposed from food or drink use, and they are specifically designed or labeled for that purpose. The emphasis is primarily on preventing the confusion that can arise from using containers associated with consumable items.
