UPDATE 2: Instructions on how to file a claim for the Waggin’ Tails, Canyon Creek Ranch dog treat settlement are now available! Click here or visit www.DogTreatProductsSettlement.com for details.
Another class action lawsuit has been filed against Del Monte and Milo’s Kitchen, LLC claiming they continued to sell dangerous, Chinese-made chicken jerky dog treats even after they learned they could poison and kill dogs.
This is at least the second class action lawsuit to be filed over Milo’s Kitchen dog treats, which have been included in a warning about dog illnesses associated with chicken jerky dog treats made in China. A July 2012 class action lawsuit filed by a Pennsylvania resident claims her dog died after eating Milo’s Kitchen treats, and that Del Monte and Milo’s Kitchen did not adequately warn her or the public about the “substantial risk of death or harm associated with their dog treats.”
The latest Milo’s Kitchen class action lawsuit is filed by New York resident Christopher Langone, who claims his dog Maya became sick with vomiting, diarrhea and a lack of appetite after eating Milo’s Kitchen dog treats between July 25 and July 29, 2012. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued repeated warnings about chicken jerky dog treats made in China starting in 2007 and as recently as July 18, 2012, but Del Monte continues to market the product as wholesome and has not placed any warnings on its packaging, the class action lawsuit says.
“Neither Plaintiff nor any other reasonable person would buy dog food with Chinese chicken jerky if they knew the danger or that there was a substantial risk of illness. Plaintiff did not learn of the FDA warning until after his dog became ill,” the class action lawsuit states. “Del Monte has intentionally concealed known facts concerning the safety of their dog treats in order to increase or maintain sales.”
The latest Milo’s Kitchen class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all consumers who purchased one or more Del Monte Chinese chicken jerky dog food products in the U.S. on or after August 6, 2008. It is seeking restitution for Class Members as well as a corrective advertising campaign and an order “compelling destruction of all packaged Chinese Chicken Jerky products that do not have warning labels.”

The case is Christopher Langone v. Del Monte Corporation, et al., Case No. 12-cv-4671, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco.

I was not one of the luckier ones whose dogs health improved after they stopped eating these treats.
Both of my Cavalier King Charles Spaniels had to be put down 8-16-12 after developing similar symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, renal failure, pancreatitis) that became progressively worse over the 5 months preceding their death. These dogs were mother & son,
ages 15 & 11. Prior to the onset of their illness, they were both very healthy & taking no medication. When I had to make the heart breaking decision to put them down they were each on 5-6 different medications daily, every 2-3 hours and being fed small meals 4-5 times a day (one of them had to be hand fed). I began giving them these chicken jerky treats from Wagon Train, Milos Kitchen, Kirkland from CostCo, and others that were labeled “100% CHICKEN”. Although I
myself well-informed, I was totally unaware of the warnings about dog treats make in China.. I read all food labels & was careful to avoid wheat and corn products which they had a sensitivity to. But they had no problem with chicken, so I stupidly thought it was fine to give them these “100% chichen” treats which they loved. I usually gave them 1 a day, but over the course of approx 2 years. Little did I know I was poisoning my beloved companions. Because of my pain, I have avoided these pet food aisles, but yesterday I decided to see if these products were still available on the shelves. To my surprise, there were empty shelves & printed notices about their recall.
From April, 2012 to Aug, 2012, both of my precious dogs had several admissions to the vet specialty hospital where they each spent 4-6 days in ICU, undergoing extensive testing. Although neither of them had eaten any of these treats since the onset of their illness in April, 2012, neither of them regained their health. I cannot tell you how many thousands of dollars my husband & I spent trying to get them well. I VERY MUCH WANT TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THESE UNETHICAL COMPANIES WHICH MISLEAD ME TO THINK THESE WERE “100% CHICKEN” AND THEREFORE SAFE FOR MY DOGS. THEY POISONED & KILLED MY BELOVED COMPANIONS!
I TOO GAVE MY BABIES MILOS CHICKEN JERKY, I LOST MY BABY LUCKY LAST WEEK, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE FOR MY BABY, HE STARTED WITH SEIZURES, I MISS MY BABY SO MUCH I FEEL THE PAIN ALL OF YOU MUST FEEL NOW AND SO DOES MY OTHER DOG DOMINO, HE IS SO LOST WITHOUT HIS BROTHER I HAVE TAKEN HIM OFF THE TREATS I STILL HAD SOME LEFT BUT THERE IS NO WAY HE IS EVER GETTING ANYTHING MADE IN CHINA. I JUST SAW A COMMENT ABOUT MILK BONES, MY BABIES ATE THOSE TOO, IS THERE ANYTHING OUT THERE ABOUT A WARNING ON THOSE, SHOULD I TAKE HIM OFF OF THEM, SHAME ON THE COMPANIES TRYING TO MAKE A FAST BUCK, OUR PETS MEAN THE WORLD TO US, KEEP IT MADE IN THE USA.
I too bought Milo Chicken Jerky. ONLY! Because it said “100%real”!! I knew about food from China- but thought~ 100% so must not have all the crap in it the other brands have.
My puppy TOTALLY healthy when I first had him started having seizures. I spent New Years Eve in urgent care. I stopped giving him the treats and he hasn’t had a seizure in 2 weeks. I took him the best neurologist is Colorado- who said; this is a healthy normal puppy- and he is baffled why the seizures at only 3 mo old. I will wait and see– but if he never has another I will KNOW it was the treats. They ran blodd test for poising and such- so it wasn’t something he found outside.
Now, FINALLY, there’s an official recall. DON’T BUY DOG TREATS THAT AREN’T MADE IN THE USA! http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/milos-kitchen-voluntarily-recalls-chicken-jerky-and-chicken-grillers-home-style-dog-treats-186181352.html
i have given my dog chicken grille treats.he even received them as christmas gifts.he was drinking so much water he could not control his bladder.he was taken to the vet and given many tests.his kidney levels were very off.. we stopped giving him the treats and he had to be watched.the vet says this comes from the treats. my dog seems to be getting better. so sorry about all the dogs that have passed.
Is it just the chicken jerky treats or all Milos treats that put a doggat risk?
I have also given my dog Milo’s Kitchen home-style dog treats. He was put down on 10/21/12 due to KIDNEY FAILURE. He was 3 yrs old and rescued from
our local SPCA.
I would love to join a class action lawsuit. How do I do this? Thanks.
Purchased an AKC puppy. Everything I gave her to eat was great until I purchased MILO’S CHICKEN JERKY. She had diarrhea so bad, every thing inside of her came out.
Nowhere on the package does it say made in China. SHAME ON YOU. I will advertise for you Milo’s ~ how’s this ” don’t purchase Milo’s Chicken Jerky unless you want to find your dog dead.”
UNFORTUNATELY, MILO’S IS NOT THE ONLY COMPANY THAT HAVE THEIR PET TREATS MADE IN CHINA. ALMOST ALL OF THE BIG COMPANIES INCLUDING MILK BONE, PURINA, AND OTHERS HAVE FACTORIES IN CHINA OR VIETNAM. I LOOK AT EVERY ONE CLOSELY AND IT IS HARD TO FIND. SOME HAVE NO MANUFACTURE COUNTRY OR THEY HAVE JUST “DISTRIBUTED” BY. I HAD SEVARAL FRIENDS WITH DOG’S CANCER BUMPS THAT I BELIEVE IS FROM THESE FOODS AND TREATS. FOR MANY REASONS, MADE IN USA ONLY. I BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO LABEL THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
For the past few years my dog ate Milos Kitchen chicken jerky, he became ill. Luckily, we got lab work done, found out he was in liver failure, stopped the chicken jerky and within 7 days the liver enzymes started to return to normal.
We were very lucky!
