The newly recalled products may contain peanut meal from the Peanut Corp. of America's facilities in Texas or Virginia and could be contaminated with Salmonella, Scotts reported. The initial recall focuses on products with peanut mill from the PCA's Georgia plant.

As a result of the recall, Scotts said it has severed its relationship with the broker that supplied the peanut mill and has filed a lawsuit against the broker.

The Scotts Co. reported that it has still received no reports of illness, but people handling contaminated birdseed could become infected with Salmonella, especially if they do not wash their hands thoroughly after handling the products.

The company requested that retailers and distributors remove recalled products from their shelves and warehouses and return them to The Scotts Co.

The Scotts Co. also asked those parties to advise their consumers about the risk and tell them to discard affected products and wash their hands thoroughly.

Consumers can contact The Scotts Co. at 866-512-8876 or here to arrange for replacement products or refunds.
