RE: Weed be Gone - applied to St. Augustine Grass lawn - after a few days lawn began to die

I recently Purchase the product and Applied it to my St Augustine Grass lawn as indicated by the instructions and after a few days all my grass started to die, my whole lawn is gone 90% and whatever is left is yellow ,

I called the company 1-800 number and the fist thing they told me is that is not good on St Augustine grass even though the label indicates otherwise and suggested to water the lawn which I did but I guess is too late and the damage is done ,

I had a minimum problem with weeds and a beautiful lawn now I have nothing. I think they need to change the label and put ST Augustine grass as one of the type of grasses that it shouldn’t be used on, by looking at all the complaints I see that I am not the only person that had to replace the entire lawn because they were mislead by the label.
