One of our cats is suffering from Chronic Renal Failure due to the tainted Iams cat food made by Menu Foods. Iams has agreed their food was the cause and they have offered to pay our vet bills (nearly $4,000 so far) and for four months of medical monitoring. Four months is a joke -- our cat is going to need expensive treatment for the rest of his life, not just the next four months.
Just curious to know if anyone has had any luck with negotiating a better settlement with Iams. Did they increase the length of the medical monitoring window? Did they reimburse you for related costs (missing work, canceled travel plans, etc.)? Or did they just give you the brush off and tell you their offer would not change?
Just wondering what to expect when I call them to make a counter offer.

that's the thing these days, people are crooks. they'll promise you everything they can to help out with this victim and they're only gonna pay for the 4 months? i don't think so! it was their fault that they didn't test their product before putting it out on shelves, i can understand that people make mistakes from time to time but this is just ridiculous! now there's a toy recall because of the toy's paint? come on people - get real! now children are at the risk of getting tumars because of a couple of slaker toy makers down in detroit and china - i dont get people anymore!
>_<*

WOW I am in australia and I know nothing about this. Thanks for the heads up. I know what I wont be buying. The best thing is not to give up, maybe get a class action thing going like they do for people. Get some legal advice if you can but dont let them walk all over you

Go after them. Don't give up. Don't let them off the hook.
