King Bio Inc.: Natural Pet Homeopathic Products Recalled for Microbial Contamination

Agency Publication Date: May 9, 2019

Summary

King Bio Inc. is recalling 200,421 bottles of various Dr. King’s Natural Pet Pharmaceuticals and Natural Veterinary Pharmaceuticals homeopathic medicines due to potential microbial contamination. These water-based products, sold in 4 fl. oz. bottles for cats and dogs, may contain bacteria that could cause infections in pets. The products were distributed nationwide across the United States between 2015 and 2018.

Risk

The presence of microbial contaminants in these homeopathic medications poses a risk of infection, especially in pets with compromised immune systems or those who have open wounds where the product is applied. No specific injuries or illnesses have been reported to date, but the contamination was discovered during internal testing.

What You Should Do

Check your pet medicine cabinet for any Dr. King's or Natural Veterinary Pharmaceuticals products, specifically looking for 4 fl. oz. (118 mL or 120 mL) bottles.

Stop using any affected products immediately to prevent potential infection in your pet.
Contact your veterinarian if your pet has used these products and shows signs of illness or skin irritation.
Return any unused portions of the recalled products to the pharmacy or retail store where they were purchased for a full refund.
