Nylabone® Products recalled one lot of its Puppy Starter Kit dog chews on April 22, 2015. The recall was prompted after routine testing detected the presence of Salmonella in the product.
When pet owners try to determine if they have bought any of the recalled product, they should look on the back of the packaging for the following lot and “best by” date:

Medical attention should be sought for any pet owners or pets who have become infected by Salmonella.
