What to do if you have the recalled treats

Pet owners who have bought the treats are advised to immediately throw them away. Consumers interested in a return can contact the company directly.

Those who may have already fed the contaminated treats to their pets are advised to look for signs of illness or unusual behavior. If a pet shows these signs, contact a veterinarian immediately.

The recall announcement said that the company is working with distributors and retailers to ensure that the treats are taken off of store shelves.
