  • Lisa Wade McCormick, ConsumerAffairs.com: “Parties involved in the litigation surrounding the largest pet food recall in U.S. history — blamed for the deaths and illnesses of thousands of dogs and cats in North America — have agreed to settle the case for $24 million. The proposed settlement — triggered by last year’s recall of 60 million containers of melamine-tainted dog and cat food — was filed last Thursday in the U.S. District Court of New Jersey. A hearing to approve the settlement is set for May 30.”
