The original lawsuit asked $250.000,000. and the Judge agreed to $25,000.00. Therefore the 4000+ litigants were able to get a small division of that money. I received, toward the costs incurred over $7000.00 of medical care and final costs to keep my dog, Bugsy alive for one year, $468.97.

A grand total of $25,000 was given to ALL of the people in the suit. In my case my poor dog which died from ingestion of the food with melamine and which cost me over $7,000.00 to keep him alive for a year, finally settled by sending me a check for $468.97. A complete atrocity of law. The Attorneys on the other hand got a total of $7.500,000.00 PLUS expenses.<br />I am devastated.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15840907233044816810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300561.post-87701601344818509632008-09-10T15:11:00.000-07:002008-09-10T15:11:00.000-07:00Here I am! :-)I am incredibly interested in this ...Here I am! :-)<BR/><BR/>I am incredibly interested in this lawsuit. I see no reason pet foods shouldn't be held to the same standards as other products, yet they constantly make claims about clean teeth, long lives, and health ingredients with little-to-evidence to support them. On the contrary, they're allowed an AAFCO certification with only six animals surviving six months - or less! There is no mandatory feeding trial, other methods suffice.<BR/>My own cats became horribly ill on commercial pet food - developing IBD, diabetes, CRF, obesity... until I got an eye-opening and started feeding them properly.<BR/>Lynette<BR/>http://www.petfoodcrusade.com<BR/>http://www.meowmeowmom.wordpress.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592881887016690426noreply@blogger.com
