Dear Folks-

I realize that this is totally off-topic, but some of us are "dually
addicted", also having other companions in addition to ferrets. I just
got this notice from my local Agway store. I pass it on.

[Moderator's note: I'd say it's more on-topic than you suggest. Ferrets
steal some dog food now and then, plus the recall isn't only dog food.
And us humans may well handle both without washing in between. BIG]
