"A new class action lawsuit alleges The Scotts Company falsely advertises its Miracle-Gro organic soil and fertilizer products as organic when they contain synthetic, non-organic and harmful “forever chemicals” known as PFAS.

Long-term exposure to PFAS has been linked to serious health problems, including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, liver cancer, thyroid cancer, and ulcerative colitis.

Plaintiffs Carrie Calcagno and Praveen Pathangi filed the class action complaint against The Scotts Co. on Oct. 7 in California federal court, alleging violations of state consumer laws."
