The moves settle allegations by the state’s attorney general that the agritech giant misled the public about the risks its lawn and garden products pose to bees and the environment.

The products in question include:

  • Bayer Advanced All-in-One Rose and Flower Care
  • Bayer Advanced 12 Month Tree & Shrub Protect and Feed II
