PFAS in Biosolid Lawn Fertilizers Investigation

Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating whether biosolid lawn fertilizers, including Milorganite and similar brands, expose consumers to unsafe levels of PFAS chemicals.

What Users Report About Biosolid Lawn Fertilizers

Homeowners and gardeners say they applied biosolid lawn fertilizers promoted as sustainable, only to later learn these products can contain high PFAS concentrations. Some report finding PFAS in their soil, wells, or livestock.

Why Consumers Should Be Concerned

Labeling fertilizers as “eco-friendly” while omitting known PFAS risks may violate consumer-protection and false-advertising statutes. Distributing toxic waste as fertilizer could also breach environmental and product-safety laws.

Signs You May Be Affected by PFAS Fertilizers

  • You used biosolid lawn fertilizers marketed as sustainable or safe.
  • Your soil or water tested positive for PFAS.
  • You received no chemical disclosure on the label.
