Hartz Dog Treat Recall

The Hartz Mountain Corp is voluntarily withdrawing its Hartz Chicken Chews and Hartz Oinkies Pig Skin Twists wrapped with Chicken for dogs because they contain trace amounts of antibiotic residue.

They are taking this action after recent testing found trace amounts of illegal antibiotic residue in samples of the affected dog treats.

The antibiotics found are not approved for use in the United States.

"Upon learning about the nationwide voluntary withdrawal of several other brands of chicken jerky products through media reports, Hartz acted immediately to begin additional testing to determine if the same unapproved antibiotic residues were present in our products," said, Sr. Director of Quality and Regulatory at Hartz Mountain.

If you have these products contact the Hartz Consumer Affairs team (24 hours/day 7 days/week) at 1-800-275-1414 for a product refund or go to www.hartz.com for additional information.
