Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On April 24, 2008, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing
that it had initiated a series of proactive steps aimed at strengthening its product registration
practices and procedures with state and federal regulatory agencies and announcing the recall of
its Bonus S Max and Turf Builder Plus 2 Max fertilizer products from retail customers and
consumers. The two products together represent less than 1% of the Company’s total sales.
The Company is still in the process of determining the cost of this product recall but currently
believes that it will be in the range of $5 million to $10 million, which is incremental to the
previously disclosed estimated product recall costs associated with the consumer recall of the
Miracle-Gro® Shake ‘n Feed with Weed Preventer All Purpose Plant Food product and Scotts
LawnServices product.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
