<p>From the FDA website (<a href=“http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia9929.html):%5B/url%5D”>http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia9929.html):</a></p>
<p>“As of April 26, 2007, FDA had
received over 17,000 consumer complaints relating to this
outbreak, and those complaints included reports of approximately
1950 deaths of cats and 2200 deaths of dogs.”</p>
<p>I don’t know whether these reports have been confirmed or not, but if I were a pet owner (as I would be if my children were not allergic) I’d be worried. It also seems that the suspect ingredients are used in human food as well.</p>
