I opened a bag of Purina dry food, and saw that there was a free package of these treats inside. Luckily I had just heard of the problems with these treats and tossed them in the trash.

The reason that the FDA hasn't recalled these treats is because Purina has deep pockets. Danforth, a former Senator from Missouri was well known as "Purina's Senator" for all the help he gave the corporation and all the money he received in return. I don't know who is filling that role now, but I'm sure somebody is.
