Walmart, the world's largest retailer, announced it will no longer sellDynamic Pet Products' Real Ham Bone - a product that has been the focus of dozens ofBBB complaints alleging the bones splintered and killed or injured their dogs.
The Walmart decision follows a year-long effort by BBB to get the bones removed from the retailer's shelves. In an effort to publicize the danger, BBB mailed bones and fact sheets, entitled "Bad Bones," to all U.S. senators and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last June.
Every year, BBB recognizes outstanding high school students with Student of Ethics awards, which can be used toward college or trade school expenses. This year, the awards are being given by region. Deadline for the Mid-Missouri and the Greater St. Louis region is May 1.
