Dog Treat Recall – Merrick Doggie Wishbone

Merrick Pet Care, Inc. of Amarillo, Texas is recalling a single lot of its Doggie Wishbone pet treat because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Merrick says 248 cases of this lot were manufactured and shipped to distributors in 10 states.  No illnesses have been reported to date and there have been no consumer complaints for the product. People handling the treats can become infected with Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the chews or any surfaces exposed to these products.

What you should do:

Consumers should dispose of these products in a safe manner by securing them in a covered trash receptacle.

If  you know where you purchased the item you should alert the store in case they still have any items left from this lot so they can dispose of them as well.
