COLUMBIA, S.C. - The maker of contaminated pet food that caused the deaths of dozens of dogs nationwide acknowledged Tuesday that workers at its South Carolina plant failed to follow internal testing procedures to ensure its products were safe.
Diamond Pet Foods made the acknowledgment after the federal Food and Drug Administration released a report showing the company has no record of test results for 12 shipments of corn in September and October, when grain tainted with the deadly fungus aflatoxin slipped into the plant.
Bausch & Lomb issued an Australian recall of all ReNu with MoistureLoc Contact Lens Solution following evidence that connected it to keratitis, a dangerous eye infection that can lead to loss of sight.
"While there has been no direct link between the product and keratitis reported in other countries around the world, there is increasing evidence to suggest an association between the actual formulation and the condition," the ad said.
