I received the email below from Amedee, leader of a FA support group in Orlando. I have not checked out our local Target Stores to see whether they are carrying this product and I do not know first hand if it contains any peanut/tree nuts- just passing along this warning:

Peanut/ Tree Nut Warning!

Target (dollar section) is currently carrying mixed flower seeds in cute burlap sacks. They are made by www.buzzyseeds.com.

The flower seed mixture contains crushed peanut shells and crushed tree nut shells.
The warning label is so small, you cannot read it with a naked eye. That is no exaggeration.
Please don't buy these for young children or give them away as gifts.
I was at the ER Friday night because my 4 year old daughter inhaled the potting mixture; she did not even touch it.

She had an immediate allergic reaction and asthma attack.
(She is okay now thankfully).

Please pass along to parents and teachers at your local Elementary and preschools.

Thank you,
