A major company that produces a lot of the lawn and garden care products you use is having a big recall.

The company is Scotts Miracle Gro and there are a total of four products that are being recalled.

The Miracle-Gro Shake and Feed All-Purpose Plant Food with Weed Control and the Turfbuilder Max Plus 2 Weed and Feed and Crabgrass Preventer are both being recalled. The EPA says they have false or misleading claims on the labels.

Next up are the Bonus S Max Southern Weed and Feed with Fire Ant Killer and Scotts Lawnservice Fertilizer with Halts Pro. Both of those were not registered with the EPA.

These products were sold at major retailers like Wal-Mart, Ace Hardware, Lowes and Home Depot.

It's advised you stop using the products immediately.

To get more information on the product numbers and how to get a refund, please call 1-888-295-0671 or visit the link below.
