Class Action

Scotts Lawn Fertilizer Plus 5.17% Iron (“GreenMax”)

September 2014: A federal judge dismissed this complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

June 2014: The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company and The Scotts Company, LLC moved to dismiss a class-action lawsuit alleging that the companies falsely market Scotts Lawn Fertilizer Plus 5.17% Iron (“GreenMax). The companies argue that the court does not have subject matter jurisdiction and the complaint does not state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Among other things, the complaint – which was originally filed in April 2014 – alleges that the product’s packaging includes directions to prevent rust stains on hard surfaces when, according to plaintiffs, the fertilizer causes rust stains even if consumers follow these directions. (Peterson et al v. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, The Scotts Company LLC, and Does 1-10, Case No. 14-cv-00637, C. D. CA.).
