PetScoop: Nutro Announces Recall of Puppy Food Sold at PetSmart and PETCO

We were speaking of puppy care yesterday, now there's news on the puppy food front. Nutro Pet Foods has announced a recall of three of its dry puppy foods, due to potential contamination with melted plastic. Oddly enough, there is no evident information about this at the Nutro website, only on a rep's Twitter feed, EdnaAtNutro:

Hi! Nutro voluntarily withdraw 3 SKUs as a precautionary measure in small # of retailers. Pls call 800-833.5330 for more info
Nutro determined highly unlikely that any pcs of plastic made it into finished product.
Hi! Limited # of potentially affected product was delivered to a small # of PS/PC
Consumers who have purchased pot. affected product should return it to their retailer or contact Nutro's Consumer Care @ 800- 833-5330

The foods involved apparently were only sold at PETCO.com and PetSmart:

Nutro Natural Choice Chicken, Rice & Oatmeal Puppy 5# bags sold at PetSmart and PETCO
Nutro Ultra Puppy 4.5# bag sold at PetSmart and PETCO
Nutro Ultra Puppy 30# bag sold at PETCO
