Hi -- someone just posted this to fanciershealh....
>>Is there someone who is following the pet recall on all the lists?
I'd
like to get this link cross-posted to any pet list. Anyone in the US
or Canada who has a complaint may join in a class action suit for no
cost. This site also has a complete list of all the tainted and
suspected tainted foods.
If you can forward this link to dog lists. please do so.

Recall on Dingo Chicken Jerky Treats
Eight In One, Inc has issued a voluntary recall of Dingo CHICK"N JERKY
treats due to the concern that the jerky treats have the potential be
contaminated with Salmonella. This includes the following treats:
*
CHICK'N JERKY 3.5oz and 8oz for dogs
*
Kitty CHICKEN JERKY 1.5 oz
*
Ferret CHICKEN JERKY 1.5oz
The company voluntarily recalled these products out of an abundance of
caution and to protect the health of its customers and pets. Consumers
should immediately stop feeding these treats to their pets and discard
them.
You can obtain information regarding a refund for these products by
calling
888-232-9889.
Salmonella is a serious infection in dogs and cats that can potentially
be
transferred to people handling these pet treats, especially if they
have not
thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or
any
surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy people infected with
Salmonella
can have some or all of the following symptoms:
*
Nausea
*
Vomiting
*
Diarrhea or bloody diarrhea
*
Abdominal cramping
*
Fever
Rarely, Salmonella can result in more serious ailments.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or
bloody
diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets may have only decreased
appetite,
fever and abdominal pain. Some Salmonella infected animals may appear
well
and not show any signs of illness but become carriers, and serve as
sources
of Salmonella infection for other animals and humans.
If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms call your veterinarian
immediately.

I took a look; this site has a simple form that people can fill out to
report pet illness and/or death, and to join in the class action
lawsuit if they
choose. I don't know anything about the Merchant Law Group, but many
people
have lost pets and have not been reimbursed for their vet bills as Menu
Foods
has promised, nor is there any system in place by Menu Foods for
consumers to
request reimbursement. Of course, no amount of money will reimburse pet
owners for their heartbreak, but I can't help but think Menu Foods will
try to
avoid living up to their promises, particularly when they realize the
scope of
the deaths and illnesses. (On the other hand, in a class action lawsuit
usually it's the lawyers who get the bulk of the money.)
"Merchant Law Group has launched court proceedings against the
manufacturer
of numerous brands of pet food (Menu Foods), alleging that millions of
containers of its product pose a danger to the health of cats and dogs,
and is
unsafe for pets to eat.
These lawsuits include the first claim filed with the Montreal Court on
March
22, 2007, under Court file no. 500-06-000392-072, as well as Statements
of
Claim filed with the Courts in other jurisdictions.
There has been a recall warning issued for 'cuts and gravy style' pet
food
manufactured by Menu Foods, which manufacture Iams, Eukanuba and many
other
brands of dog and cat food, after a number of reports of pets suffering
serious
effects, including but not limited to sickness, vomiting, kidney
failure or
death.
Merchant Law Group has, thus far, been contacted by over 1,400
individuals
with concerns over the use of these products."
