FLUFFS!

Mom was just checking online and today the Court granted preliminary approval to the class action settlement. US and Canadian class members include anyone who used, purchased, or obtained or whose pet consumed pet foods and/or treats that were recalled between March 16, 2007-present becsause they allegedly contained contaminated wheat gluten or rice protein concentrate.

A $24 million fund was created in which eligible class members will receive up to 100% cash payment of reasonable, documented economic damages and up to $900 for other reasonable damages for which they do not have documentation. Expenses may include vet screening, treatment costs, death related expenses, pet purchase or "new pet costs," (ick), property damage, and other costs.
