Choking hazard prompts Purina wet food recall

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (FOX 5 DC) - Purina is recalling some of its Muse wet cat food after customers discovered rubber pieces in the products.

According to Nestle Purina PetCare, there have been no complaints of animals suffering from injuries or illness because of the rubber pieces - which are translucent yellow with a blue backing.
