The company has issued a voluntary recall due to elevated levels of vitamin D in certain Simply Nourish products.

A $12.5 million settlement and $4 million in attorney fees will be awarded.

The company announced the recall of a limited number of dry dog food and mixers sold under the brands PEDIGREE and CHAPPIE.

The pet food company failed to test the vitamin premix it was supplied for safe levels, which caused several of its wet dog foods to contain 33 times the safe upper limit for vitamin D, according to the FDA.

The additional recalled canned dog food products were affected by the same vitamin premix responsible for the initial recall.

Plaintiffs from several states claim the company was negligent and are seeking damages for affected dog owners nationwide.

The canned dog food products could contain elevated levels of vitamin D.

The US Food and Drug Administration is working with the contract manufacturer to provide a comprehensive list of affected brands.
