The Merced County District Attorney’s Office is warning people who may have purchased a product to kill cockroaches from the flea market that the product is not safe. The cockroach powder was advertised on social media, in Spanish magazines and direct door-to-door advertising as “El Mejor Remedio” or “El Mejor Polvo.” It was recently sold at the Merced Spring Flea Market.
