Anyone used Advanced Slug Pellets?

I put some around the edges of my plot as far as possible from plants, but worry about any run-off into soil closer to plants. It's claimed to be 'safe' yet there are warnings featured on the bottle itself, so I'm a touch confused and slightly concerned if veg could take up  any nasty stuff.

Are my concerns misplaced?

I do feel that Advanced slug pellets is a "safe" product in that the active ingredient is a salt of iron and phosphate, which both occur natuurally in soil, whereas the traditional slug killers contain either metaldehyde or methiocarb which are unfortunately also poisonous to animals other than slugs and snails.

As with any chemical product you should only use as directed.

I use them perfectly happily and I believe they are approved by the organic association (ex-HDRA, can't remember the proper title for now)
