You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The first place to start would be to file a complaint at either the Better Business Bureau or the local consumer advocate's office. In addition, the Florida Department of Agriculture has a department that deals with consumer complaints. You can find out more information online at:

If these agencies are unable to help you, then you should retain an attorney and pursue an action in a court of law.
