CAT FOOD RECALL

June 9, 2010

· Proctor and Gamble Company has voluntarily recalled some lots of cat food due to inadequate levels of the B vitamin, thiamine.

· The only foods affected are certain lots of the Iams Pro Active Health canned Cat and Kitten foods- all flavor varieties in the 3 oz and 5.5 oz cans. The lots have the date on the bottom of the can ranging from 09/2011 to 06/2012.

· The recall does not affect any other Iams products.

· Cats are at low risk for any health risk if they are fed other cat foods along with the recalled food.

· However, cats only fed exclusively the recalled food could develop signs of a thiamine deficiency.

· Signs of a thiamine deficiency include:
     Loss of appetite
     Weakness
     Tremors
     Seizures
     Downward curving of the neck

· Pet owners with any health concerns should speak with their veterinarian.

· Consumers should discard any food with these date codes and can contact the Proctor & Gamble Company for a refund at 877-340-8826.
