24 Million Dollars for Poison Dog Food Deaths
I am sure that most of you recall the far reaching tragic dog food
recall involving Menu Foods
During the recall more than 60 million containers of dog food that
was found to contain a poison called melamine, used in the
production of plastics, was recalled. Dogs that were fed commercial
dog food produced by some of the most popular dog food
manufacturers suffered renal (kidney) failure and died.
Recently, a settlement was reached.
The Settlement Agreement will create a Fund of $24 million
allowing recovery of …economic damages related to the pet food
recall that were incurred by pet owners and persons who purchased
recalled pet food in the United States and in Canada, subject to
several limitations,” Menu Foods wrote in a press release.
Dog guardians can file claims for medical expenses and
reimbursement of burial or cremation costs.
While this settlement is welcomed by Dogs4Life, we are not
satisfied. The commercial dog food industry remains largely
unregulated. It is more important that ever before to be informed
as to just what is in the dog food products that you buy and feed
to your best friend.
