deadly toy for your cat! - brand : FRISKIES


The message (in French) below says this toy (picture) has been recalled from sale in Portugal, it appears it caused the death of a certain number of cats. It contains tiny parts of metal, lead, which is deadly for cats!!!

Il y a un jouet pour chat de la marque Friskies qui vient d'être retiré du marché au Portugal dû à des cas de décès de chats qui ont joué avec (voir photo joint). Ce jouet contient des petits morceaux de métal, avec du plomb, ce qui est mortel pour les chats, même en infimes portions.

Si ce jouet est encore en vente chez vous, allertez les gens qui pourraient l'acheter.

It's presumably made in China (?), the warning's in french and it's withdrawn from sale in Portugal  :Crazy: They should withdraw it everywhere right away.
Must be for sale in France. Prob best to avoid all Friskies toys until they clear it up.
