This is what we've been told by Menu Pet. This sounds like a really stupid or amazingly brilliant way to keep petparents from making claims. Either way, that seems to be the only way to make a claim other than through a class law suit.

The retards are holding up and harassing litigants to get them to sign waivers to prevent lawsuits. Time to burn the company AND its execs (figurativly) out of the food industry.

I was shocked to hear about this incident and made sure my cat back home was safe as soon as i heard. I also checked pet food at my friends houses to make sure their pets were ok. That said, I think the company has so far been doing a good job by recalling all their stuff, offering to pay vet bills for affected pets, publishing this all on their website and finally trying to actually speak with concerned consumers and pet lovers by scaling up their call centres as quickly as possible. Finally, the source is not rat poison, but contaminated wheat gluten that had melamine, a mineral used in plastics. I think this is a case of a novel new contaminant being found that we must now screen for, just like when human food is contaminated we learn a lesson, Menu and hopefully all who source their materials from countries with different standards than our own will undertake their own safety testing. -- ""Quite simply, one supplier's product was adulterated in a manner that was not part of any known screening process for wheat gluten," Henderson, the presdient of Menu, said. "The important point today is that the source of that adulteration had been identified and removed from our system." He said the FDA's announcement earlier in the day supports the recall process used by Menu Foods and clears the company of wrongdoing. Henderson also said the company will be providing compensation to customers for veterinary bills and said the investigation is ongoing. "To the extent that there is a cause and relationship to the extent that the individuals suffered a loss as a result of consuming Menu Foods, yes Menu will take responsibility." He also said there has been no further evidence that the pet food was contaminated with aminopterin, a rat poison and cancer drug. The New York State Food Laboratory announced last week it had found aminopterin in the pet food. The FDA probe found melamine in wheat gluten that was used as an ingredient in the pet food, in samples of the food itself, and in the urine and kidneys of some deceased cats.
