Cat Vitamin Recall!!

United States
November 5, 2007 2:42am CST
just when we might have been getting over the dog food recalls..now the cats are affected..and from a source that I at least, have always found to be a trusted brand ! The following recall has been announced: The Hartz Mountain Corp. of Secaucus, N.J., is recalling 3,600 bottles of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats because the product might be contaminated with salmonella, which could infect pets and people who come into contact with the cat vitamins. No reports of illnesses have been reported, according to the company. The recalled cat vitamins, with the lot code number SZ-16371 and the UPC number 32700-97701, were manufactured by UFAC (USA) Inc. in Baconton, Ga. For more information, consumers can call Hartz at 800-275-1414. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071102/ap_on_bi_ge/recalls_2;_ylt=Aq_hngU45VunMBQgEZdGZtZg.3QA thankfully the article says that no pets have been sick yet..at least not that were reported. i dont know how many of the cat owners out there actually make the attempt at giving their cats vitamins, but i figured forewarned is better than sick cat and/or sick owners!

I saw this on my cat chat list. I said that I've boycotted Hartz stuff for years. They've harmed more pets than helped I suspect.

HARTZ is defintely a brand that I DO NOT TRUST!!! Are you not familiar with the fact that their flea products have killed animals? I can't post links yet. However hopefully someone who can will. I refuse to buy Hartz products!
