Here is the response some people are getting from the Four Paws company-
Thank you for your recent note expressing concern over the Four Paws
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. We take great care in developing safe products for pets and
their owners.
At this point we have identified the problem and are not shipping any
more Pimple Balls. We have contacted customers that carry this product
and have asked them to immediately return their inventory.
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.
