Reason for Recall

Action Taken

Consumers should immediately stop using the flame weeders and return them to the store where purchased or call Gardener's Supply Co. for a full refund, including any shipping costs. Gardener's Supply Co. is directly contacting consumers who purchased the recalled flame weeders.
