Wow! I looked and looked and couldn’t find it for the longest time. It was like one of those seek & find video games my kids play. Anyway, thanks Gina….with your direction I found it there in the little orange box on the bottom of the page. I guess it is actually at media.iams.com…maybe that was my mistake.

It is on their homepage, Joy. Not sure when it went up, but it’s there. The fact that you have to look to find it means they can do better — it’s in a box on the right, towards the bottom.

But it IS on their homepage.

I’m on the FDA recall alert email list and got the first notice of this recall at 2:15 est today. Still nothing on the Iams website. Weird.

The release is finally on the website, but it looks like they did a cut & paste job from their last recall.

P&G Recalls Two Lots of Prescription Renal Diet Cat Food Due to a Possible Health Risk
Due to Low Levels of Thiamine (Vitamin B1)

I just emailed Bev to let her know about the error, so hopefully it’ll be fixed soon.

My vet was not aware of the recall either.

My dog and cat both have been raised on Iams dry cat and dog food their entire lives. Last week we had to put my cat to sleep the vet said it was kidney failure, he was 13 years old. Then ten days after our cat died my 7 year old poodle died within 7 hours of her first symptoms. She woke up yesterday passing nothing but bloody stool, vomiting blood, fatigued, and reddish/purple areas all over her body that just apeared within a few days. Within two hours she was at the vet. She had two more bloody stools and within 4 hours of seeing the vet she died. Now I think the two situation are connected to the Iams food after reviewing all comments on the internet sights. My poodle would also eat the cats food too.

The info on the P&G website is still not on IAM’s main page…Just wondering how many cat owners know that IAM’s is a P&G product..again to me it looks like they feel this is not important to post…but why…

Im sorry Christie, Im not blaming her for not working on the weekend, I just felt if a company rep is able to post a statement on behalf of the company here this morning then they could have tweeted something on their account this morning as well. She used the word ‘we’ when posting about the recall here so I assumed she was involved with communications for the company. I didnt intend to take the heat off of who has responsiblity. Sigh…I guess Im just seeing it differently and perhaps I dont understand how it all works.
