Ortho Bug B Gon Max question
 

My wife inadvertantly used Ortho Bug B Gon Max spray on a row of lettuce and
mustard. The bottle does not list this particular vegetable at all on the
outside of the label, and the inside of the label has been damaged to the
point where I can't read it. Does anyone have any information about using
this on lettuce and mustard? Should I destroy the plants, or can they be
eaten after a certain amount of time?

Doesn't matter about labeling.

Labeling does matter. It is a federal law violation to use any
controlled pesticide not in accordance with the label.

If the label defines how the product can be used on that crop and the
instructions are followed there should not be a problem.

Even better, go to http://www.ortho.com or look for contact information
on what's left of the product label and look for assistance there.

Don't be ridiculous. Why would anyone go to the manufacturer's site for
information about their products? If you can't contribute something useful,
please go away.

Hunt down the label on the web..call the manufacturer..read another
label on a product at the store. If the product is not made for the
plants destroy the plants.

I did. The web site generated errors, and I was unable to find what I was
looking for there.

I think I'll have to call them, I was hoping someone here might actually
know something usefull. So far, your advice to call them is the best advice
I've received :). The website generates errors, and I can't find what I'm
looking for there.

The label is partially destroyed...

Ahh, the website is working this morning. Alas, the info there is not as
detailed as what is on the label, go figure? Guess it's phone call time.....

Ah, the website is up. And they don't have the vegetable list there, so I
called them. The only information the gentleman could give me was they could
not recommend consuming any non-listed vegetable. Suckage. Well, look on the
bright side. I have 15 pepper plants left over that I need a place for - now
I have room for them LOL.

Moral of the story - don't let your wife get near your garden with bug
spray!

Don't be ashamed! Obviously, if you've read all the post, he tried the
website anyway. I check company websites quite often for different
products. Some can be quite helpful. You never know til you try!

Or you could refrain from using bug spray. I mean, it happens.
