Ruh-Roh: Pedigree Recalls 'Fraudulently' Shipped Dog Food
Key Points:
- Mars Petcare is recalling two lots of Pedigree High Protein Chopped Chicken & Duck Flavor wet dog food after cans that failed safety checks were fraudulently sold nationwide instead of being destroyed.
- The recalled 13.2-ounce cans, identified by lot codes 613C3KKCFC and 613C1KKCFC, may contain sharp metal and plastic pieces that pose a risk of injury to dogs.
- No reports of pet illnesses or injuries have been received so far, but owners are advised to watch for symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, or loss of appetite.
- Mars Petcare is cooperating with authorities to investigate how the defective cans entered the market and is offering replacements to customers via a dedicated hotline.
