Subject: [blindusersLG] Dog food recall.
This message comes via the Seeing Eye. There had been some concern
regarding this brand of pet food recently, and this was sent to me via email
just a few moments ago. Take appropriate action if your pet uses these
particular types of foods and this brand.

According to reports we have received and that you might have heard in the
news, anyone using dog or cat food manufactured by Diamond Pet Company
should discontinue its use immediately. The products are sold under the
brand names Diamond, Country Value, and Professional.
Contaminated Diamond pet food has been linked to deaths of 23 dogs and the
illness of many others as of Friday, Dec. 30, according to the FDA. The
company, based in Meta, Missouri, recalled 19 varieties of dog and cat food
when they were found to contain a chemical present in a fungus on corn, a
common pet food ingredient. The chemical, aflatoxin, can cause symptoms of
energy loss, lack of appetite, vomiting, fever, and jaundice. Severe cases
can cause liver damage and death. Diamond company officials say the recalled
product was distributed in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Michigan, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vermont, and Virginia.
For more information on the recall, including specific date codes, please
