Q&A: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?

Question by joseph b: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?

Hello, I have a diego talking rescue 4×4 that I was going to wrap up for x-mas and my hubby is flipping out because of the recall. This product was on the recall but the time frame does not match. The recall says between april-aug. I explained to him that I bought mine in either Jan or Feb at the latest but he is worried and doesn’t want to chance it. Would some one please tell him that they give those dates for a reason. I mean I’ve never had to return a product on a recall before so I am not familiar with it but I thought that the dates they give are very specific and that those are the only ones to worry about. If they were unsure I’m sure they would have included a bigger time frame. Can anyone help me out and maybe make me feel a little better about this whole thing. Of course I wouldn’t jeopardize my child’s health over a toy and thats how my hubby is making me feel. Can anyone give me some reassurance or something so I can reassure him. If I’m wrong, someone please let me know.

Question by : Here are The recall sympoms, questions, and answers for any one who wants to know.?

. What exactly is covered by the Menu Foods Recall and for what timeframe?

The recall is limited to “cuts and gravy” style pet food in cans and foil pouches produced on specific dates and times between December 3, 2006, and March 6, 2007 in two of Menu’s plants. The recall affects 42 brands of cat food and 53 brands of dog food. In order to determine whether cat and dog food that your pet consumed is subject to recall, you should refer to the list of brand names on this website.

2. What should I do if I think my pet may have consumed the recalled product?

If your pet is exhibiting any signs of kidney failure please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. Symptoms include loss of appetite, vomiting, weakness, disorientation and changes in water consumption and urination. If you suspect that you have fed the recalled pet food to your cat or dog, save any remaining pet food and the can or pouch. Open cans or pouches may be double-bagged in sealable plastic and kept in the freezer.

3. Who is going to pay my vet bills for sickness and death?

If Menu Foods product is the cause of sickness or death, Menu Foods will take responsibility. Menu has engaged a professional firm to manage your concerns and is currently contacting concerned pet owners who have reached our call center. Specific direction will be received from these individuals. Please keep copies of all your vet records and receipts for pet food purchases as well as vet bills.

4. What do I do if I have pet food that has been recalled?

Please return it to the retailer for a refund.

5. Will I be reimbursed for the food that I return to the retailer even if my pet did not get sick?

Yes, if it is a valid product that is subject to the recall.

6. How do I know if the food I bought has been recalled?

The information is contained on this website. Not all date codes are subject to recall so please fully check the information on your can or pouch. The information on the website is organized by cat or dog then by brand and description. None of the traditional “loaf” style products are subject to this recall.

7. I can’t get through to the 1-866 numbers. What is going on?

We apologize for the delay in answering every call; we were simply overwhelmed by the volume of calls. Menu has retained a series of interconnected call centers throughout North America. Even with many regional centers running simultaneously we have not been able to answer every call. As we announced in a press release on March 19, 2007, we have taken steps to significantly upgrade our call centers to handle the volume and we have added this Frequently Asked Questions (“FAQ”) section to our website to provide more information.

8. I feed my pet dry food. Is dry pet food safe?

Menu Foods only manufactures wet pet food in cans and foil pouches. Dry pet food is not part of the Menu Foods recall.

9. I’m just not sure if my dog or cat had any of the food that is being recalled. They act fine and don’t appear to have any symptoms. Should I be worried?

As always, remain alert for any changes in your pet’s health.

10. Are there other ways my pet might get sick and show similar symptoms?

Yes – antifreeze ingestion, certain rodenticides and some medications. Certain lilies have been shown to cause kidney failure if consumed by cats. Grapes have been reported to cause kidney failure in dogs and may affect cats. Physical damage from trauma and cancerous conditions can also cause kidney damage.

11. Has Menu Foods begun contacting consumers about claims?

The professional team hired by Menu began contacting consumers on Thursday March 23, 2007. This team worked through the weekend in an effort to get to as many people as possible. In order to assist in our efforts to contact these concerned pet owners as quickly as possible we ask that those who have already reached us to refrain from repeat calls.

12. Is there a time that it is easiest to get through to the 1-866 number?

The best time to get through to a representative is between 4pm and 11pm EST when the call volume is at its lowest point in the day.
I know its not a question, but I felt nice enough to give up 15pionts for giving all the information you guys wanted. Please appreciate it. Not everyone is as nice as me.
If you need the lists, click an my image and go in my profile. Go under “questions asked” , and you will find the rest of the information, one for dogs, and one for cats.

Thanks that was very informative. I hope everyone who has questions about the recall reads this – there seem to be a lot of people who are panicking and assuming that if their pets are ill it must be the food!

He simply omits the rather important fact that the Cambrian Explosion didn’t just come out of the blue, but as a response to a stimulate, probably the relatively recent fact that the Earths atmosphere had finally swapped over from reducing (makes …
