Please chekhk out Chai's blog fur an update.
And take a look at this message Summi's Mummi passed along to The SMS Moms:
August 26, 2008 RE: Four Paws® Rough & Rugged® Pimple Ball with Bell Dear Valued Retailer: As you may know by now, there have been reports of injuries to dogs as a result of a manufacturing defect in some Four Paws Pimple Ball with Bell toys. We are deeply concerned about these reports, and we have immediately stopped shipping the toys until the defect can be corrected. If you still have any of these toys in stock, we urge you to remove them from your shelves immediately and return them to your distributor. The following products are affected: Item Number Item Description UPC 20220 Four Paws® Rough n Rugged® Pimple Ball with Bell -- Small 0 45663 20220 0 20225 Four Paws® Rough n Rugged® Pimple Ball with Bell -- Medium 0 45663 20225 5 20227 Four Paws® Rough n Rugged® Pimple Ball with Bell -- Large 0 45663 20227 9 Meanwhile, we have halted shipments of these toys from the manufacturer and I will be personally inspecting the manufacturer' s facility in order to make sure that the defect has been corrected and will not occur again. It is important to note that this is a manufacturing defect in some of the toys and not a problem with the toy's design. We are also changing the packaging of the Pimple Balls to make it easier for us to inspect them for potential defects, and we are individually inspecting every one of the toys in our inventory in order to identify any that may be defective. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you or your customers, and we thank you for your cooperation in removing the defective toys from your shelves. Please feel free to call me at 1-800-835-0909 if you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Barry Askin Executive Vice President This email was sent to: RCTATKIN@YAHOO. COM This email was sent by: Four Paws Products 50 Wireless Blvd. Hauppauge, NY 11788
Please continue to keep your eyes open fur these bad toys and have your humans tell the store they see them in all about the dangers they pose and the pains they've khaused.
Have a thinkin' Thursday!

Yay to the power of the people! We don't have those toys in Australia, which is probably just as well.

Yay! It's actually working! Good for us!

And bad for the company waiting until it was clear it would affect their bottom line. Stoopid humans and their green paper...

Khyra,
We're so glad to hear that Chai is feeling better. Companies (we refuse to give the credit of a Kh-spelling here) that don't care about dogs make us very angry. Now, let's go hear some cheering music!

Hi Khyra, thanks for the update. Glad to know Chai is doing better. Hurray for paws and hooman power! Hope these manufacturers would be more responsible and stringent in their product safety.

Have a good weekend!
