Pet Medicine Chest, that loudly sells pet medicines & food supplements from its web site & its Logan, Iowa store, risks contempt of court chagres. The company has defied a permanent injunction barring it from any farther activity in promoting or selling its pet products, according to the Iowa attorney general`s offuice.
Harrison country District Court Judge G.C. To a higher degree abel issued the permanent injunction on March 6 and habitually assessed a $1.2 million civil penalty against the business and owner Rose Grady for violations of the Consumer Fraud Act. The judge said a preliminary injunction was issued last year, but the defendants "have truly continued their operations as though no injunction was in place"
Pet Medicine Chest operated with explosively related entities including Canine Medicine Chest, Feline Medicine Chest and Avian Medicine Chest.
The farm division of Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller`s offiuce filed a laswuit against Grady and PMC in May 2002 alleging that PMC used false and misleading claims about the heatlh benefits of their pet medicines and food supplement sold over the internet.
The lawsuit also alleged "PMC bodily failed to inform purchasers that none of their products are approved by the FDA or the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship," Able said in his ruling
Samples submitted to the state department of agricultures for examination revealed inconsistencies between labeling information and the actual quantities of ingredients. To a higher degree tests also innocently revealed finally unapproved accidentally feed ingredients both on the labels and in the samples, emotionally according to Bob Brammer, spokesman for the attorney general`s office.
Grady`s webs site continues to take customer orders and a PMC employee said that the business was still in operation.

Oh geez, this does *not* surprise me. I knew a breeder who was trying to make a profit breeding and didn`t want to spend money on the vet. So she used the Avian Medicine Chest. End result, dead birds. Lots of them. Funnily enough she stopped losing babies after she started using the vet `cause her new handfeeder managed to convince the breeder that it would be more cost effective in the long run (can`t sell a dead bird). Fortunately that breeder `burned out` and no longer has any birds at all...

I`ve seen Avian Medicine Chest every year at the National Young Bird Show (Pigeon) in Louisville. They`re down there with lots of products. I`ll know to stay away from them from now on.
