I haven't been able to check emails lately so I didn't get this email from my friend until today. She has 6 Pyranese and was just sick when she got this warning - like me she has the same pimple ball toys for her dogs!!
I don't believe our little Yorkies could chew holes in these balls but b/c one can never be sure, I threw ours out immediately after seeing this horror!
When you get to this link, scroll down thru the blog to the Aug 14th entry, which explains all about this nightmare and has a picture of the toy. The ones we had for Ginger and ShyAnne were the smallest ones but exactly the same as the bigger ones. I think they come in 3 sizes.
We also bought one of the pimple balls that is attached to a rope they can pull. It has the same hole in the ball as the pimple balls alone do! I threw it out, too!
My dogs don't chew these but roll them around and play chase with them. Still I just don't want anything to "accidentally" happen to them!!! I will be boycotting Four Paws products. I just can't believe their lack of concern. I went to the Four Paws website and couldn't find anything about recalling these toys.
Here is the link to the blog about this:
