The Scotts Company; Prohibited Trade Practices, and Affirmative Corrective Actions

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent order requires, among other things, Scotts, an Ohio-based corporation, to divest its Peters Consumer Water Soluble Fertilizer Business and related assets to Alljack & Company or another Commission- approved buyer by no later than December 31, 1995. If the divestiture is not completed on time, the consent order permits the Commission to appoint a trustee to complete the transaction. In addition, the Commission substituted a 10-year prior-notice provision for the 10-year prior-approval provision contained in the proposed consent agreement as it was published for public comment.
