Blue Buffalo Recalls Can and Biscuit Products Due To Tampering By American Nutrition Inc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Wilton, Connecticut, April 26, 2007- We at the Blue Buffalo Company have just learned that American Nutrition Inc. (ANI), the manufacturer of all our cans and biscuits, has been adding rice protein concentrate to our can formulas without our knowledge and without our approval. This is product tampering, and it apparently has been going on for some time. The can formulas that we developed, and trusted them to produce, never contained any rice protein concentrate. It appears that only an FDA investigation of ANI’s rice protein concentrate supplies forced them to reveal this product tampering to us.
While this activity by ANI is in itself unlawful, the situation is further clouded by the fact that ANI has been receiving rice protein concentrate from Wilber-Ellis, some of which the FDA has determined to be contaminated with melamine.
So while no BLUE or Spa Select canned product has tested positive for the presence of melamine, and there has been no reported illness due to any of our canned products, we simply cannot be sure of what ANI has been including in our formulas. For this reason, we have decided to remove all of our canned and biscuit products from retail distribution. While this may seem to many to be a major over-reaction, as other ANI customers will probably only recall the products that tested positive for melamine, we see this as a matter of integrity.
We founded Blue Buffalo on the principle of providing dogs and cats with the highest quality and most nutritious food, and we will not sell any product that doesn’t meet this standard. And under these circumstances, we cannot say that any products manufactured by ANI measure up.
The obvious question is “how could Blue Buffalo not know that ANI was putting rice protein concentrate into our canned food?” The answer is we trusted them. In business and in life, we all trust our partners to deal with us honestly. When we buy produce from our local grocery store, we are trusting growers, shippers and a series of handlers to have delivered a product that is safe and nutritious for our family. If any one of these parties betrays our trust, contaminated products can make their way to our dinner table.
And while we test for known toxins and contaminants, we don’t test for protein sources, like rice protein concentrate, especially when we did not formulate our products to contain them.
In the end, this all comes down to an issue of integrity, and ANI has not been honest with us and with the pet parents who buy our products. We will not put any product made by ANI on the shelf, and are temporarily withdrawing an important part of our business in order to be true to our pet parents.
We have already started the process of identifying a can and biscuit manufacturer with whom we can build a partnership based on trust. Once we have accomplished this, BLUE and Spa Select cans and BLUE Health Bars will be reintroduced with the high quality and superior nutrition that our brand stands for and that dogs and cats deserve.
We have informed our retail partners and the FDA about this action and will be cooperating with them to complete this recall quickly. The specific product involved includes all “BLUE” brand can dog foods, all “Spa Select” brand can cat foods and all “BLUE Health Bar” treats.
Consumers who have unused or partially used packages of any of these products should return them to their place of purchase for a complete refund.
All “BLUE” dry natural food for dogs and “Spa Select” dry natural foods for cats are not affected by this recall and are safe for consumption. Should consumers have a specific question, they can call the Company at 1-800-919-2833, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EDT, to receive more information.

Q&A: Whirlpool flame lock water heater recall?
Question by jasmin_flower69: Whirlpool flame lock water heater recall?
My sis in law’s maintenance guy is trying to rip her off and we were wondering, if anyone out there knows, Is this product under recall? I know the thermocoupler is supposed to be, but the recall page at the actual whirlpool site is conveniently off line.
If anyone out there could tell me if it is and if possible when it became under warranty? She just got it installed 3 months ago and they’re trying to tell her that she must have damaged it, and she must replace it, as no water heater breaks that quickly. We’re wondering if they got it cheap after the recall and are using it as a scam.
Thanks in advance!

Answer by paranut59
As I understand it, the unit has a 12 year tank warranty but Whirlpool is only offering a one time replacement of the crappy thermocouple. Most Home Improvment stores are not even carrying the replacement, you have to order it.
As for the guy who refuses to repair it, he is just a lazy slug.
Installation date is what matters, not when it was made. Besides, any reputable service company stands behind anything and everything they sell. In our company, we offer a 100% money back guarantee for up to 2 years on anything we install. Simply put, if you don’t like it, you don’t keep it. Have her call a factory trained Whirlpool repairman and report the other jerk to the BBB.
Consumer reports on this particular item are nightmarish, sorry.

Technically everything is a bi-product of oil refining. But I think what your thinking of is that diesel is a bi-product of gas.

Q&A: can i get my money back for an infant product on recall instead of repairing it?

baby car seats, cribs, playpens

Answer by JB
Generally no. I don’t know of any that do. My car seat was recalled & the “fix” was ridiculous – it took my carrier style seat that pops in & out & made it completely stationary & there was no option for refund. All those crib recalls now – their fix is to make it so the rail won’t drop at all on the side (which is a BIG deal for short people because it can mean NOT being able to put a sleeping baby over the rail…) and again no refund available. They are not required to refund or exchange if they can make a fix of basically ANY kind to make it safe for use, even if it makes it less functional.
I wish it were different. It stinks when you get stuck with something that doesn’t operate the way it is supposed to, especially if it disables a feature that was KEY to why you bought it.

Q&A: retailers recall Simplicity bassinets ?
Question by T J: retailers recall Simplicity bassinets ?
WASHINGTON – Eleven more retailers have recalled Simplicity bassinets, bringing the total to 17 that have decided to recall the infant beds, which are linked to the deaths of two babies
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday that 11 additional retailers are pulling from their shelves the “close-sleeper/bedside sleeper” bassinets because the products pose a strangulation hazard. Those retailers include AAFES, Amazon.com LLC, Bed Bath and Beyond/BuyBuyBaby, Burlington Coat Factory, Chelsea & Scott LTD (OneStepAhead), CSN Stores, Fingerhut Direct Marketing, Kohl’s Department Stores, ShopKo Stores Inc., Sweet Pea Decor, and six stores of USA Baby.
The agency first announced on Aug. 28 that Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Toys “R” Us Inc., Kmart Corp., Big Lots, Target, J.C. Penney have recalled the products. The recall affects nearly 900,000 bassinets.
In recalling the Simplicity 3-in-1 and 4-in-1 convertible bassinets, the retailers have agreed to provide a refund or store credit to consumers who return the product to the store where they purchased it, CPSC said.
A 6-month-old girl from Shawnee, Kan., was strangled on Aug. 21 when she became trapped between the bassinet’s metal bars. In September 2007, a 4-month-old girl from Noel, Mo., became trapped in the bassinet’s metal bars and died.
The Simplicity bassinets have metal bars spaced farther apart than federal standards allow. Julie Vallese, a CPSC spokeswoman, said consumers can tell if their Simplicity bassinet is recalled if it has removable fabric that is fastened by Velcro.
SFCA Inc., the company that purchased the assets of Reading, Pa.-based Simplicity Inc. earlier this year, has refused to recall the products. SFCA maintains that it is not responsible for products previously manufactured by Simplicity.

Question by ?Holly? Mama to Jaden and Rylee: Those of you who have requested a refund from the McNeil product recall website?
For the recent tylenol/motrin/bendadry/zyrtec recall. I sent my request last night. I had 2 bottles of infant tylenol, one bottle of children’s tylenol, and one bottle of children’s motrin. What happens now? They had to get my phone number and said something about calling me. Will they call me or just send the refund in the mail?
Tina-Me too. They are on my kitchen counter.
I didn’t have an option to have them *not* call me. My phone number was mandatory.
