Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Scotts Miracle Gro is recalling over 32 million units of various wild bird and wildlife food products, including brands like Morning Song, Meijer, and Harris Teeter. These products, which include deer corn, bird seed blends, and suet blocks, were found to have been treated with pesticides that were not properly labeled for use on these specific grain mixtures. Consumers should stop using the affected wildlife feed immediately and return any remaining product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.

Risk

The bird and wildlife food contains pesticides that were not approved or properly labeled for these specific products, potentially exposing non-domestic birds and other wildlife to unauthorized chemical substances.

  2. Verify if your product matches one of the recalled categories, such as Deer Corn (25, 40, 50LB), Black Oil Sunflower (2LB to 50LB), various Suet/Dough cakes (11oz to 24oz), or Birdwatcher's Blends.
  3. Identify the specific Recall Number on the packaging or your receipt to confirm it matches the range V-114-2008 through V-161-2008.
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled food and keep it away from birds, deer, and other wildlife.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Scotts Miracle Gro for further instructions.
