<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Newport Beach, CA &#150; August&nbsp;27, 2010 &#150; American Vanguard Corporation (NYSE:AVD) today announced it has filed an action against the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (&#147;USEPA&#148;) in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking emergency and injunctive relief from a Stop Sale, Use or Removal Order that USEPA recently issued relating to the
company&#146;s USEPA-registered pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) product line. The company&#146;s wholly-owned subsidiary, Amvac Chemical Corporation, manufactures, distributes and sells PCNB as a fungicide for use primarily on turf with the bulk of
sales occurring in September and October. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The agency issued the stop sale order on the ground that it thought the company did not identify
trace impurities in the product in a submission to the agency called a confidential statement of formula (&#147;CSF&#148;). The company believes that the stop sale order is without merit and that, in fact, the agency has known about these impurities
for nearly 20 years and has never made a determination that these impurities (which the agency now claims could be of toxicological significance) had to be identified on the CSF. The order does not allege that the presence of these impurities
creates any risk to human health or the environment. The company hopes to successfully work through these&nbsp;technical issues with the agency, as it has on other issues in the past, but does not believe the law allows the agency to stop&nbsp;sales
of this approved product before due process has been afforded the company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Eric Wintemute, President&nbsp;&amp; Chief Executive Officer of
the company, said, &#147;We were surprised and disappointed to have received this order without advance warning just as our main selling season is starting. We believe that the order has no defensible legal basis and have been working without
success with the agency to try to effect an informal resolution. However, at this point, we have no choice but to take legal action in order to protect our business.&#148; Mr.&nbsp;Wintemute added, &#147;We appreciate our customers&#146; continued
support as we work through this issue with the agency.&#148; The company expects to receive a ruling from the court on its motion for a temporary restraining order within the week and will report on that ruling when received. </FONT></P>
