Re: EPA orders Scotts to stop selling certain pesticides

Sorry, Doreen -- the links do work. They were there as a double 
e-mail address. I removed one of them. Try these. I couldn't find out 
what pesticides the products contain yet. I think it's surprising the 
Scotts hasn't put out any info yet. There's nothing on Scotts Web 
site about this to 'reassure' their customers.
