I think, you posted previous cites for the new Ironite formula. If it
isn't too inconvenient, would you please post them again.

Never mind, I found it.

ELF vs. IRONITE PRODUCTS COMPANY

(fertilizer)

California law regulates the levels of heavy metals (such as lead and
cadmium) allowed in fertilizers, and requires high levels be disclosed
on the packages. The Ironite Company could not meet California's
standards, because its fertilizer was being manufactured from mine
tailings at a potential Superfund site. Nonetheless, it steadfastly
refused to disclose the high levels of toxic metals on labels its
packages to warn customers, as the law required. ELF brought Ironite to
court, and Ironite -- after initially filing frivolous claims that its
"free speech rights" were violated if it had to warn about toxic metals
-- agreed to reformulate its products to get rid of the heavy metals
altogether, and to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
effort to clean up California's waters.

It appears that the new Ironite is completely different than the
pre-2006 Ironite.

Post 2006
IRONITE PLUS 12-10-10
Arsenic 2.47 ppm
Lead 62.7 ppm

Pre-2006
Arsenic 3,972 ppm
Lead 2,677 ppm

Odd though,
Heinz Brungs is president and chief executive officer of Ironite
Products Company. The company has carried the Ironite label since 1987,
although Brungs' association and ownership of the organization traces
back to 1978 when he formed Metex Ltd., and purchased the Iron King Mine
stockpile in Humbolt, Ariz.

It looks like Heinz Brungs, who sold toxic waste for fertilizer,
is still president of the company, which has a mailing address in
Covington, Georgia and a business address in Walnut Creek
California. It appears that Ironite sold the company to itself.
Hmmmm

Must have learned well from Monsanto and its multitude of name-saving
spinoffs.
