I was on the Scott's website looking to ID a grassy weed and found that the following items had been recalled: Miracle-Gro® Shake 'n Feed®Plus Weed Preventer Scotts® Bonus S MAX® Scotts®TurfBuilder MAX® It said they weren't properly registered with the EPA. Anyone know more? |

EPA ordered Scotts Miracle-Gro Co., located in Marysville, Ohio to stop selling and distributing four pesticide products. Two of these products are illegal because they were never registered with EPA and display invalid registration numbers on the labels. The other two products are currently registered with EPA. However, Scotts sold and distributed these products before they were registered, which is a violation of federal law. The labels on these two products make false or misleading claims or fail to provide adequate safety instructions to protect people and the environment. If you think you may have purchased one of these unregistered or improperly labeled products, please look at the EPA registration number provided on the label as product names may vary. Each registered pesticide must have an EPA registration number on its label that is specific to that product. That number may appear anywhere on the label, but is typically found near the bottom of the label on the front or back of the product. It is often designated as EPA Registration No. XXX-XXX or EPA Reg No. XXX-XXX. If you see the following EPA registration numbers, you have an unregistered or improperly labeled pesticide: 62355-4 (garden weed preventor & plant food products) 538-301 (weed & feed and fire ant killer product) 538-299 (turf builder plus weed and feed product) 538-304 (lawn service fertilizer with .28% Halts Pro products) If you have purchased any of these products, you should stop using them and follow Scotts recall instructions. If you can't return these products immediately, store them in a safe, cool and dry place and out of reach of children, pets and wildlife. Do NOT dispose of the product in the garbage, down the drain or at a community disposal site. For more information about the product recall and instructions on returning the products, call Scotts Miracle-Gro Recall Hotline at 1-888-295-0671 or go to www.scottsmiraclegro.com |
