Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tabs Limited has recalled 501 units of Advanced Cetyl M Joint Action Formula For Dogs and VPL Harmonease Chewable Tablets. These pet supplements were manufactured using hydrolyzed vegetable protein that was previously recalled by a supplier for potential Salmonella contamination. The affected products include Advanced Cetyl M in both 120-tablet and 360-tablet bottles, and VPL Harmonease in 30-tablet bottles sold primarily through own-label distributors in Nebraska and Iowa.

Risk

The supplements may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can cause illness in pets who consume the products and in humans who handle the supplements or the pets that eat them. Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and in severe cases, life-threatening infections in young children, the elderly, or pets with weakened immune systems.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your supplement packaging for 'Response products Advanced Cetyl M Joint Action Formula For Dogs' (120-tablet or 360-tablet bottles) or 'VPL Harmonease Chewable Tablets' (30-tablet bottles).
  2. Verify the recall numbers: V-065-2010 for Advanced Cetyl M and V-066-2010 for VPL Harmonease.
  3. Stop using these supplements immediately and securely dispose of them so that other animals or children cannot access them.
  4. If you have already used the product, monitor your pet for signs of illness such as lethargy, diarrhea, or vomiting, and contact your veterinarian if symptoms appear.
  5. Wash your hands and any surfaces or bowls that have come into contact with the affected supplements thoroughly to prevent human infection.
  6. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Tabs Limited at 751 S. 4th St, St. Joseph, Missouri, 64501, for further instructions.
  7. Contact the FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine at 240-276-9300 for additional questions regarding pet food and supplement safety.
