[##_1L|1392504003.jpg|width="130" height="67" alt=""|_##]Several pet owners have filed a product liability lawsuit against a pet food manufacturer following a nationwide recall of tainted pet food. Lauri Osborne, of Plymouth, Connecticut, and others, filed a federal class action lawsuit against Menu Foods, the manufacturer of the Iams® canned food that allegedly caused fatal kidney failure in one of her cats and left two others seriously ill.
On March 16, Menu Foods issued a nationwide recall of 60 million containers of wet pet food products after receiving reports of animals suffering from kidney failure throughout the United States and Canada
Samples analyzed by the Food and Drug Administration uncovered traces of melamine – a chemical used in making plastics, laminates, and fertilizer.
Menu Foods has established hotlines that pet owners can call to receive updated information on the recall. According to their own hotline, Menu foods also delayed announcement of the recall until it could be confirmed that their product was responsible for the slew of animal deaths.
