Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act ( 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq.) expressly preempted State common-law causes of action which seek to recover damages for injuries allegedly arising as a result of inadequate warning labels on a product ( see, Warner v. American Flouride Corp., 204 A.D.2d 1, 3, 13). Therefore, dismissal of the plaintiffs' complaint was appropriate. Contrary to the plaintiffs' contention, the opinion in Warner v. American Flouride Corp. (supra) is not inconsistent with the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in Medtronic, Inc. v. Lohr (518 U.S. ___, 116 S Ct 2240).
Furthermore, while leave to amend a pleading "shall be freely given upon such terms as may be just" (CPLR 3025[b]), the decision to grant or deny leave to amend a pleading is within the court's discretion ( see, Mayers v. D'Agostino, 58 N.Y.2d 696), and the exercise of such discretion will not be lightly disturbed ( see, Beuschel v. Malm, 114 A.D.2d 569). On this record, it was not an improvident exercise of discretion for the court to deny leave to amend the complaint.
The plaintiffs' remaining contention is without merit.
