Tests conducted by the company indicated the products might have a low level of thiamine (Vitamin B1).<br \/>\nThere have been no complaints regarding thiamine levels, or any other health issues, related to these products. In association with this voluntary recall, Diamond Pet Foods has tested all other Diamond brands for thiamine deficiency to ensure the safety of the cat food it manufactures. No other product manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods is involved in this voluntary recall.<br \/>\nOnly product with the following Best By dates and Production Codes are included in the voluntary recall. Further distribution of these affected production codes has occurred through online sales. It is best to check the production code to determine if the product has been recalled or not.<br \/>\nIn Michigan:<br \/>\n<strong><em>Premium Edge Senior Cat Hairball Management Formula<\/em><\/strong> 6 lb. and<br \/>\n18 lb. bags NGS0101<br \/>\n03-Jan-2014,<br \/>\n04-Jan-2014<br \/>\n<strong><em>Premium Edge Kitten Formula <\/em><\/strong>6 oz. samples,<br \/>\n6 lb. and 18 lb. bags MKT0901<br \/>\n26-Sept-2013<br \/>\n29-Sept-2013<br \/>\n30-Sept-2013<br \/>\n02-Oct-2013<br \/>\nCats fed product with the previously listed Production Codes and Best By dates exclusively for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is essential for cats in maintaining normal nervous system function. Symptoms of thiamine deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological in nature.<br \/>\nEarly signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting and weight loss. In advanced cases, neurological signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, falling, circling and seizures. Pet owners should contact their veterinarians immediately if a cat is displaying any of these signs. If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency typically is reversible.<br \/>\nPet owners who are unsure if the product they purchased is included in the recall, or who would like replacement product or a refund, may contact the Pet Food Information Center at 1\u00ad888\u00ad965\u00ad6131, Sunday through Saturday, 8 a.m. &#8211; 6 p.m. EST.
