I hope everyone has been avoiding Hartz products, some of what they sell for pets can be very dangerous.
Anyway if you use this vitamin product please be aware there is a recall on this. More details below
Hartz announced a recall on November 2 for a specific lot of Hartz
Vitamin Care for cats because of salmonella concerns. Here is the release
from their website:
The Hartz Mountain Corporation is voluntarily recalling one specific
lot of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats due to concerns that one or more
bottles within the lot may have been potentially contaminated with
Salmonella. Hartz is fully cooperating with the US Food and Drug Administration
in this voluntary recall.
The product involved is 3600 bottles of Hartz Vitamin Care for Cats,
lot code SZ-16371, UPC number 32700-97701, which was manufactured by a
third party manufacturer, UFAC (USA), Inc., in Baconton, Georgia.

While normal testing conducted by Hartz and UFAC has not revealed the presence of Salmonella in any Hartz products, sampling conducted by the FDA did detect the presence of Salmonella. Hartz is aggressively investigating the source of the problem.

Punk: Yeah, it didn't really come as suprise to me either. I personally think that Hartz products should be pulled from the market.
I cringe everytime I see someone looking at the flea products made by them, and do my best to talk the person out of buying them.
