Nutramax Laboratories (“Nutramax”) recently brought legal action against Zesty Paws LLC (“Zesty Paws”) and its Hong Kong-based owner, H&H Group(1). The action is for false advertising regarding the ingredients, quality, third-party rankings and recommendations, and market performance of their products, as well as for making false or misleading comparisons to Nutramax’s DASUQUIN® products.
Third-party testing of Zesty Paws’ products indicates that at least some of their products contain inconsistent, and sometimes undetectable, amounts of key active ingredients, and in some instances contaminants, including E. coli and high aerobic microbial counts.
