FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – July 3, 2012 – PMI
Nutrition International has initiated a voluntary recall of four varieties of
the LabDiet® and Mazuri® feed products listed below, due to the potential for an
elevated vitamin D level in these products. Elevated vitamin D levels can be
harmful to animals if fed for extended periods.
These products were manufactured at the Richmond, IN feed plant and were
distributed throughout the U.S. and to a few international customers. Dealers
have been contacted and asked to hold these products and to notify and retrieve
the product from customers. The affected product should not be used, and where
applicable, be returned to the retail dealer.
