Pet Toy Warning

I have recently been reading about severe injuries being sustained from dogs playing with a ball that the company Four Paws Inc, produces. The toy I'm referencing is the pimple ball with bell. (Item #20227-001, UPC Code 0 4566320227 9)



There is one small hole in this ball and when dogs chew on it, their tongue gets sucked inside because there is no 2nd air release hole. Dogs may try to swallow the ball as a reaction to having something in his mouth that he can't release. The ball must be cut in order to release the dog's tongue. Reports are saying that Four Paws is not recalling this toy, nor are they offering pet owners any consolation, rather simply refering them to their insurance company. Several dogs have died from the ball blocking the airway or by the dog choking.
