2012: A class-action lawsuit was filed against The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, Inc. and The Scotts Company LLC for, among other things, allegedly falsely marketing Scotts Turf Builder EZ Seed as having the ability to grow grass “50% thicker with half the water” when, according to plaintiffs, the seed does not work as advertised and actually prevents grass from growing.
