Company Announcement
Fi, of New York, NY, is recalling the supplements for dogs listed below because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella due to an ingredient supplied to Fi’s manufacturer. The manufacturer has suspended production while it investigates. Fi is promptly notifying all affected customers out of an abundance of caution.
Salmonella can affect the animals eating the product, and there is a potential risk to humans from handling contaminated products or from animal waste after the animals have ingested the product. This risk is greater if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having had contact with the products, surfaces exposed to these products, or animal waste.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in additional ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever, and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your animal has consumed any of the recalled products and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
The recalled products were distributed directly to consumers and through online retailers Amazon and Chewy.com.
