Hartz Mountain Corp. is recalling over 2 million units of pet care products, including hydrocortisone sprays, shampoos, and various worming medications, because they do not meet Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. This recall affects a wide range of Advanced Care products, such as those used for skin irritation and internal parasite treatment in puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. These products were sold nationwide at supermarkets, discount stores, pet stores, and major pharmacies. Consumers who have these products should contact their veterinarian for guidance and return the items to the place of purchase for a refund.
The products failed to meet manufacturing standards, which means the safety, quality, and consistency of the ingredients cannot be guaranteed. This could lead to ineffective treatment or potential adverse reactions in pets if the medication dosages or topical ingredients are incorrect.
