Don’t be fooled by contractor or product names that sound “environmentally friendly.” Consumers need to be cautious and skeptical to avoid being poisoned. Be alert for false safety claims and unethical practices.
Just because a company is named EnviroGreen or OrganoLawn doesn’t mean that you are safe. Don’t be fooled by a picture of a tree, a child, a rabbit, a dog or a sunrise on the label or claims that a product is “safe” or “natural.”
