I purchased 20 bags of Premium Brown Mulch from Lowes distributed by Oldcastle Lawn & Garden, PO Box 468567, Atlanta, GA In the bag of "premium mulch" were many construction debris items like plastic and lumber, but the item that leads to my complaint is a board with two nails in it that was included in the mulch. Clearly this is not safe and not expected to be in a bag of premium hardwood mulch.

We bought about 30 bags of Vigoro black mulch (2cu.ft size) from the local Home Depot. Inside one of the bags was a VERY large piece of glass from an old style [REDACTED] bottle. The edges of the glass are sharp and if not for the fact that I was wearing gloves, I would have been cut badly on the hand while spreading the mulch. It was clear that the bag had not been tampered with, and that the glass bottle had been packed down inside the mulch at the source. The oddest part is that the bottle looks to be vintage?

Within minutes of opening a fresh bag of Scotts Black Mulch [REDACTED] experienced severe throat burning and was hospitalized in ICU with respiratory failure.
