MenuFoods KNEW Products Were Deadly And Shipped Them Out Anyway

A Canadian woman who was trying to
entice her newly-adopted dog to try dog food (the dog will only eat
table scraps) ended up in the late-night ER. From the Edmonton Journal:

Elaine Larabie said Saturday she ate some dog food last week in an
effort to convince her terrier, Missy, to do the same. Soon afterwards,
both Larabie and Missy found themselves in hospital -- Larabie at an
after-hours emergency room, and Missy at Ottawa's Alta Vista Animal
Hospital.

Initially, the devoted dog owner did not think dog food made her sick.

"I thought I caught a virus, but then I realized I ate the food, and put two and two together," she said.

For three days, she suffered a range of "confusing" and
"embarrassing" symptoms, including loss of appetite, vomiting and
foaming of the mouth.

She also had problems urinating. She had blood work done last Wednesday and is now awaiting the results of those tests.

The pet food recall has been expanded following confirmation that the food was tainted with rat poison.
