[Dailydrool] Very dangerous dog toy!

[R Groves]

In Regards to the Pimple Ball-With-Bell... I have one of their type of balls
... smaller, and it does have *two* holes in it to prevent suction like this
poor hound experienced.

I emailed the company and they responded, I have a few other friends that
also emailed, and they received the same/similar response... their info is
below.

Thank you for your recent note expressing concern over the Four PawsR Pimple
Ball with Bell. We were equally alarmed to learn that a dog may have injured
himself while playing with this toy.  

Dogs have been enjoying the Pimple Ball with Bell for more than a decade
with over 500,000 units sold.  In all the years this product has been on the
market, this is the first injury of this nature that we are aware of.
Unfortunately, accidents sometimes happen.  That's why we recommend that
dogs always be supervised when they are playing with any toy.  Of course, we
also take great care in developing safe products.

At this point we have identified the problem and are not shipping any more
Pimple Balls until all units are re-worked.  We have contacted customers
that carry this product and have asked them to return their inventory to be
re-worked.  

Thank you for your concern and feedback. Please know that we are in direct
communication with the pet owner whose dog was injured.  At Four Paws, happy
pets and satisfied pet owners are our number one priority.  Rest assured we
will continue to work hard to deliver on our priority.

Sincerely,

Allen Simon
President, CEO
Four Paws Products
