This is the response I got from Smith and Hawkens regarding the three pack of herbs in the ceramic pots that was recalled:
I have contacted Target who advised the reason the items were pulled from the shelf was due to a labelling issue. In the State Of New York, plant items are required to have a "sell by" date on the package. I appreciate your patience while I researched this matter.
Again, thank you for taking the time to let us know of your concerns. For immediate assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 800-776-5558 if we can be of any additional help to you.
