Toxic Dog Treat Claims Survive Dismissal Motion

[douglas9]

A manufacturer of dog treats using Chinese jerky must face claims from a Texas woman who says they gave her dog kidney failure, a federal judge ruled.
Jennifer Holt claims she had to euthanize her dog Tucker after the Kingdom Pets chicken jerky treats she fed him up to three times a week led to acute kidney failure. Holt says she bought the treats relying on packaging that said they were made from "100% natural ingredients" and were "wholesome and delicious." The treats were developed and distributed by Globalinx, which owns the Kingdom Pets Brand.
Though Globalinx is based in California, the Kingdom Pets chicken jerky products contained chicken jerky from China.
Holt sued Globalinx and an affiliate in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, but the companies moved to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction and failure to state a claim. They moved in the alternative strike portions of the first amended complaint concerning class allegations.

2. all of my meducations are made in China or Vietnam now

The last manufacturing company in my town (pharmaceuticals) just left for China.

The melamine that was found poisoning pets entered through contaminated milk products (having cows in a polluted environment) a lot of pills have milk products in it.

Oh and check where the shrimp you eat comes from, a lot comes from Vietnam where they feed them on pig poop which can carry contamination. Or the gulf where they can have 3 heads
