According to the Wal-Mart Facts website, some of the recalled pet toys
were manufactured in Puerto Rico. In all reality, most of the recalled
pet toys were manufactured in the People's Republic Of China.
Personally, to me, this sounds like a Cover-Up and the Shifting Of
Blame!
For the Health and Safety of my kiddies, I have disposed of all of
their Chinese Wal-Mart Pet Toys! Some of my kiddies really miss their
favorite squeaky toys!
