[QUOTE="MaryMary, post: 88753, member: 3521"] [USER=944]@Chuck[/USER], I called the toll-free # at your link, and he said he wasn't sure, since they are a plastic pallet company. He said most pallets are untreated, and the ones that [B]are[/B] treated would be marked. His "overall feeling" is that they [B]are[/B] perfectly safe. [USER=2144]@Beth_B[/USER], I googled "wood pallets from China" and they seem to be fumigated for some kind of horned beetle, the precise name eludes me right now. I have contacted the Horticultural department at Michigan State University, via their "Lawn and Garden hotline." The woman who answered the phone didn't know the answer either, but she is going to look it up, and call me back. She said her "gut feeling" is [B]not[/B] to use them. Just as a slight hijack, she seemed [B]happy[/B] to be stumped, and complimented me on my "very good question." :geek: This is how you tell the difference between a true Educator, and a mere teacher who only shows up for the paycheck. (y) (y) Her name is Mary.:ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
