Dude, this company is like Umbrella. They are very clearly lying.
I don't have time to show you why right now, I'll come back later and explain.

Not quite. I got the hybrid generation information from their blog, yes. If it's wrong then sure, let me know.
The EPA guide however, I looked up. Monsanto and the article state completely different "EPA views".

Current thiram labels typically require that handlers wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and gloves. Respirators are generally not required.

For the most part, current label requirements (for personal protection single layer clothing, gloves, and no respirator) appear to be generally adequate.

Additionally, p28 identifies thiram as a dithiocarbamate. Those match what Monsanto says, not the article, so I'm not really inclined to see it as trustworthy.
The real issue seems to be whether or not second generation seeds are viable, and do they make farmers reliant on Monsanto.
