You also might want to contact the company through the contact form on their actual website and inform them of the bad experience you've had. They might be unaware of the issue you've had with their products. The thing with Amazon is that businesses don't have any control of the inventory once Amazon has it. That product must be stored all over the country in different Amazon warehouses since it's offered with next day delivery.
Good idea, I e-mailed them.

I know some clothing company in Utah just got fined and shit for replacing the Made in China Labels with Made in America.

The rule is confusing though. HLG is made in USA. But we know they get the diodes and shit overseas. But build them here. So I'm assuming at least half the parts have to be from the USA and half of the manufacturing. I don't know. HLG is honest whatever the rules are. I bought a couple of the UV bars and those are made in China, and say it clearly.

I'm curious about stupid shit like this.

Edit: Oh, this part about sums it up kinda.

As described in Section I above, the NPRM proposed to codify the Commission's longstanding interpretation of Section 5's requirements governing substantiation of unqualified MUSA claims. This interpretation was first articulated in Commission cases dating back to the 1940s [33] and was formalized in the 1997 Policy Statement. Specifically, the NPRM proposed to prohibit unqualified MUSA claims on labels unless: (1) Final assembly or processing of the product occurs in the United States, (2) all significant processing that goes into the product occurs in the United States, and (3) all or virtually all ingredients or components of the product are made and sourced in the United States.
Yeah they've had criteria for "Made in the USA" for years but it wasn't until a year ago that they had an actual rule that allowed for penalties. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. The FTC was authorized in 1994 to penalize companies but it's taken them almost 2 decades to actually start doing anything.

GS Plant customer service was super quick/excellent & they are sending out a replacement.

They confirmed that Amazon doesn't make sure Older Supply is used up first before newer stuff.

Btw if you use any of their products, you can order direct from GS Plantfood website & its free shipping.

For anything you can, avoid Amazon & order direct.

I heard back as well and was told the source was " the Sonoran desert of Southwestern US and Baja, Mexico" . I had also asked where it was manufactured but they chose to not answer that question. Just replied back about the source. Glad they took care of you, I've been wanting to try out a wetting agent for awhile and yucca looks like a great one.
