Summary

Ridley Block Operations is recalling approximately 86,400 pounds of cattle supplement tubs because they may contain dangerously high levels of urea. The recall affects 360 tubs of Purina Lix 38 Hi-E for Beef Cattle and 24 tubs of RangeLand 38 Hi-E, all in 225-pound sizes. These products were distributed in Oklahoma and Texas.
