COMPANY

Pled guilty on 13 March 2012 for knowingly selling poisoned birdseed during 2007 and 2008. The company will likely receive only a slap on the wrist: $4M fine. In addition, the company falsified pesticide registration documents for their "Scotts Garden Weed Preventer & Plant Food" and "Scotts Lawn Service Fertilizer." When the EPA demanded additional documentation, the company falsified this as well.
