Hartz Hurtz: Update

Hartz is going to pull their product from the market, according to news sources. Here's an article from King 5 News, thanks to March's mom.

The other night, Michael and I were in the store looking for a product for the cats. They only had Hartz. I refuse to buy any of their products now. I don't care if they change their formula. They're not getting my money ever again.

A quote from the article:
"...these are effective products," Dr. Albert Ahn of Hartz said in 2002. - Yeah, when your cat is dead, you certainly won't have a flea and tick problem any longer! Geesh. They obviously care only about money. They've known these products are harmful for years, with tens of thousands of people sending in complaints. They've even paid vet bills for people whose cats experienced severe problems. Yet they still refuse to admit their product is dangerous. Ridiculous. I'm glad something is being done about it now, though.
