FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 21, 2012 - Kasel Associated Industries of
Denver, CO is voluntarily recalling its BOOTS & BARKLEY 6 COUNT 5 INCH
AMERICAN BEEF BULLY STICKS product because it may be contaminated with
Salmonella. Salmonella can sicken animals that eat these products and humans
are at risk for salmonella poisoning from handling contaminated pet products
especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having
contact with the pet products or any surfaces exposed to these products.
Healthy people infected with Salmonella should monitor themselves for some
or all of the following symptoms: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody
diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever. Rarely, Salmonella can result in
more serious ailments, including arterial infections, endocarditis,
arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, and urinary tract symptoms.
Consumers exhibiting these symptoms after having contact with this product
should contact their healthcare providers.
Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody
diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite,
fever and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be
carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the
recalled product and has any of these signs, please contact your
veterinarian.
The recalled American Beef Bully Sticks were distributed nationwide through
Target retail stores from April through September 2012.
The product comes in a clear plastic bag containing 6 bully sticks marked
with bar code number 647263899189. Kasel Industries is recalling all lot
numbers because the following lot codes tested positive through analysis by
the State of Colorado Department of Agriculture: BESTBY20APR2014DEN,
BESTBY01JUN2014DEN, BESTBY23JUN2014DEN, and BESTBY23SEP2014DEN.
No illnesses have been reported to date in animals or humans in connection
with this problem.
The recall was the result of a routine sampling by the State of Colorado
Department of Agriculture which revealed that the finished products
contained the Salmonella bacteria. The company has ceased the production and
distribution of the product while FDA and the company continue investigating
as to the source of the contamination. No other products made by Kasel
Associated Industries are included in the recall.
Consumers who have purchased the 6 count 5 inch packages of Boots & Barkley
American Beef Bully Sticks are urged to return it to the place of purchase
for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Kasel Associated
Industries at 1-800-218-4417 Monday thru Friday from 7am to 5pm MDT.
