Will Scotts plus 2 fertilizer with the post emergent herbicide harm grass seed?

I only have this type of fertilizer in my garage and am wishing to promote new seed growth, Yet it has the plus 2 herbicide as well as the fertilizer. will it harm the grass seed at all? (mind you this is the post ermergent and not the pre emergent) Thanks for your answers!

1. All preemergents deter seed ( of any type ) germination. Dont put it out.................. Littlte late for grass seed . It wont have rooy development to establish and will probably die in the heat.
2. Don't use it since it will prevent germination. Look for a starter fertilizer, not a summer fertilizer. They have different balances of N-P-K. The best thing you can do is water frequently. If the seed dries out, it might not germinate. Depending on how large of an area, you might want to provide some shade as well. It is a bit late for starting grass.
