if you’ve recently purchased a pet bowl from Petco, please check it out.

Petco has recalled three dog- and cat-food bowls because an overseas manufacturer used stainless steel containing small quantities of radioactive cobalt-60.

The models include:
•    SKU 1047493: 9.25-inch diameter, 3.75-cup capacity.
•    SKU 1386956: 9-inch diameter, 3.5-cup capacity.
•    SKU 1047477: 9-inch diameter, 7-cup capacity.

The SKU numbers are found on labels on the inside and bottom of the bowls. Customers who purchased one of the recalled bowls from May 31 to June 20, 2012, are encouraged to return it to a Petco store for a refund.
