      "Wet and forget" killed the grass growing between my slabs last year, they were obviously directly sprayed with the diluted product.
      And in that case it was a benefit, but I wouldn't say its harmless to plants.

        The label doesn't say that it may pose a risk to health. Searching up the chemical ingredient comes up with lots of research that shows it does pose a health risk.

        Too much searching for information can be bad for your gardening too. I've seen many posts from people scared to let pets out into gardens because they've read that plants, or parts of plants, can be poisonous. What the information generally fails to tell people, is how much of a plant would have to be ingested for it to be harmful. Rhubarb leaves, for example, are poisonous but how many people would try eating them?
