A Florida company is recalling omega-3 supplements for dogs and cats that were sold across the country under numerous brand names, saying the product could contain dangerous levels of vitamin A.

Stratford Care USA announced its voluntary recall Friday after receiving one "serious adverse event" report from a customer whose dog showed signs of vitamin A poisoning. The company didn't disclose the dog's condition but said in a news release that it was the "only adverse event to date" and none of its other products were affected.

The recalled supplements come in white plastic containers that contain 60 soft gels. The recalled containers read "lot 31133 EXP 04/13/23" or "lot 30837 EXP 10/26/22" on their bottoms. They were distributed throughout the United States, sold in veterinary clinics, stores, and online.

A contracted firm manufactured the supplements and sold them to Stratford, which "is solely a distributor" of animal care products, the release says. That means the supplements are sold under different, private brand names, so the recall includes omega-3 products under more than 60 labels.

Dogs need enough vitamin A to stay healthy, but too much of it can cause serious problems, including anorexia, nausea, weakness, tremors, convulsions, paralysis, and death in the most grave cases.
