Recalls: Stainless Steel Petco Bowls, Catswell VitaKitty Chicken Breast w/ Flaxseed & Vitamins

Petco is recalling 3 models of stainless steel pet bowls due to possible contamination with radioactive material.  Are you kidding me?!  Scrap metal containing Cobalt-60 was used in the manufacturing of some of their bowls.  It’s at low enough levels that it should pose no risk to people or pets, but what does this say about the standards of the manufacturers with whom Petco contracts?  Sheesh!

The products affected include:

-SKU 1047493
-PETC-3.75C DEEP TWO TONE NOTIP
-9.25” diameter; 3.75 cup capacity

-SKU 1386956
-PETC-3.5C NO-TIP SS HAMMRD BWL
-9” diameter; 3.5 cup capacity

-SKU 1047477
-PETC-7C TWO TONE -NONTIP BOWL
-9” diameter; 7 cup capacity

If you bought one of these bowls between the dates of May 31 and June 20, 2012, take it to a Petco store for a full refund. Call Petco Customer Service at 877-738-6742 with any questions.
