“A federal court sentenced Scotts to pay a $4 million fine and perform community service for 11 criminal violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). In a separate agreement with the EPA, which resolves additional civil pesticide violations, Scotts agreed to pay more than $6 million in penalties and spend $2 million on environmental projects. Both the criminal and civil settlements are the largest under FIFRA to date. The EPA said that by the time Scotts voluntarily recalled these products in March 2008, it had sold more than 70 million units of bird food illegally treated with pesticide that is toxic to birds.”
