The product, in the report: Organic Bloom plant food- 24 fl oz plastic bottle, pour cap
Purchased Organic Bloom plant food by Espoma company. It comes in a plastic bottle and is a brown liquid. Stored it in my home in kitchen. On July 1, 2018, put the container on my kitchen counter to use in my watering can. Before I even opened it, the product exploded! It went 15 feet - all over my ceiling, walls, furniture, paintings as far as my dining room and hallway! Luckily, I was only hit in chest, arms and hands, but it would have been worse if it had exploded the other direction. This has caused two days of clean up and the need for further paint and professional cleaning. I called the company and they told me this has happened before - they said it was bacteria fermenting. This product needs to be taken off the market before someone is really injured. It is totally unacceptable to not warn buyers of this product. This has caused me great trauma, time and concern during a holiday weekend, that was supposed to be relaxing!
