Scotts Miracle-Gro pleads guilty to distributing insecticide-tainted bird seed
The recent decision by Scotts Miracle-Gro Co. to plead guilty to charges of distributing insecticide-tainted bird seed highlights the need for continued monitoring of the safety of the nation's bird seed supply, says American Bird Conservancy (ABC), the nation's leading bird conservation organization.
In April 2011, ABC announced the results of its independent bird seeding testing efforts that were undertaken as a result of sporadic wild bird seed contamination incidents.
