June 8, 2026 — Go Raw LLC has expanded a voluntary recall, originally issued on February 17 20026, to include an additional lot of a freeze-dried chicken recipe product due to potentially low levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1).

The recall is for a single lot of Steve’s Real Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried. The product is sold in beige, zip-locked 1.25lb bags and is marked on the front with:

Lot Code: C26022
UPC: 6-91730-18103-1
Best Buy Date: 1/22/2028Go Raw LLC previously issued a recall of three other products in its range, though these were all cat food recipes — Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried Nuggets, Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Frozen Diet and Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe Frozen Diet.

What to do

The recalled Steve’s Real Food Chicken Recipe Freeze Dried (1.25 lb bags) were distributed through retail stores in a number of US states, including:

• California
• Colorado
• Florida
• Georgia
• Idaho
• Illinois
• Michigan
• Minnesota
• Montana
• New York
• North Carolina
• South Carolina
• Ohio
• Oregon
• Pennsylvania
• Rhode Island
• Texas
• Utah
• Washington
• Wisconsin

Steve’s Real Food has confirmed that the affected lot is no longer present in distribution channels. A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) press release stated that it does not believe the product is still available to purchase.

Pet parents who bought the affected product should immediately stop feeding it to their dog or dogs and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or replacement. Any further questions can be directed to Go Raw LLC at [email protected] or by phone at 801-432-7478.

About Thiamine

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is an essential water-soluble vitamin required for normal carbohydrate metabolism and neurologic function in both cats and dogs, though cats are considered more susceptible.

A diet that’s deficient in thiamine, if consumed regularly over an extended period of time, could result in pets developing clinical signs — including vomiting, excessive salivation, weight loss, decreased appetite and poor growth.

Further, more serious, issues can develop as the deficiency progresses — including seizures, changes to vision, difficulty walking, circling and bending the head towards the floor. In the most severe of cases, without medical intervention, advanced thiamine deficiency may even be life-threatening.

If a pet parent observes any signs of concern, they should contact their veterinarian.

Reporting Pet Food Problems

The FDA encourages consumers to report complaints about pet food products electronically through the Safety Reporting Portal. Consumers may also visit the SmartHub – Safety Intake Portal – Report a Product Problem for electronic assistance with submitting a report.

Canadians can report any health or safety incidents related to the use of this product by filling out the Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

AMAZON PRODUCT TRIGGERS CONSUMERS

A lounge chair sold on Amazon was recalled after a consumer lost a finger, and the recall centers on a simple, ugly truth: one hidden pinch point can turn relaxation into surgery ^[1].

Story Snapshot

• Recall involves Giantex lounge chairs sold on Amazon citing an “amputation risk” from a pinch point during adjustment ^[1]
• At least one consumer reportedly suffered a finger amputation tied to the mechanism ^[1]
• The public recall framing outpaced the detailed engineering record, leaving unanswered technical questions ^[1]
• Marketplace roles between platform, seller, and maker complicate accountability and remedies ^[1]

Recall framing: the headline injury and the pinch-point hazard

Fox Business reported that Giantex lounge chairs sold on Amazon were recalled after a consumer’s finger was amputated, with the Consumer Product Safety Commission described as warning about an “amputation risk” at a pinch point during adjustment ^[1].

That framing tells consumers what matters most in the short run: stop using the product and avoid the pinch zone. It does not answer crucial questions engineers and lawyers will ask later, such as the exact mechanism geometry or the clearance that allowed entrapment ^[1].

RECALL ALERT! Some outdoor lounge chairs are being recalled due to the risk of amputation.

Product-safety veterans recognize this pattern: the severe injury leads, the technical file lags. The public usually sees the brand name, the retailer channel, and an action verb—recalled—before unit counts, batch identifiers, and hazard diagrams arrive, if they ever do ^[1].

Consumers do not need a finite element model to understand risk; they need a remedy. Yet the absence of technical detail limits the public’s ability to judge defect prevalence or to determine whether misuse, wear, or design tolerance stacking contributed to the outcome ^[1].

What the recall does and does not establish

The recall communicates that a specific failure mode exists—finger entrapment at an adjustment pinch point—and that at least one severe injury occurred ^[1].

It does not, by itself, prove systemic defect rates, identify the exact model or lot that failed, or quantify incident frequency across total units sold ^[1].

Regulators and manufacturers often hold complaint logs, design drawings, and corrective-action histories that are not immediately public. Without that denominator, the headline can inflate perceived danger or, conversely, obscure a broader pattern that deserves faster action ^[1].

American values prize personal responsibility and transparent accountability. Consumers deserve straight answers about which models are affected and how to remedy the hazard, while companies deserve clarity about causation before sweeping blame.

A recall should not become a Rorschach test. It should specify the mechanism, the remedy pathway, and the evidence threshold for action so owners can act decisively without guesswork about their chair’s identity or risk profile ^[1].

Design reality: where fingers meet force and leverage

Adjustment mechanisms concentrate force with levers, pivots, and sliding rails. Designers solve pinch hazards with guarded linkages, minimum clearances, and warning labels where guards are impractical.

A finger amputation implies an unprotected closure path or insufficient clearance at a hinge that moved fast enough, with enough leverage, to overcome withdrawal reflexes ^[1].

That scenario points to familiar controls: shrouds over scissor points, detents that slow movement, or design changes that relocate hands away from closing paths during normal adjustment ^[1].

Giantex outdoor lounge chairs, sold on Amazon, are being recalled because consumer can place their fingers in a pinch point when adjusting the lounge chair, posing an amputation hazard.https://t.co/eSL1lhOxNC

Online marketplaces complicate accountability when brands, importers, and fulfillment providers are not the same entity. Consumers often remember “Amazon” first, even when a third-party seller or overseas manufacturer owns the product decisions.

Marketplace reach magnifies the stakes. If a listing moves large volumes quickly, a design miss scales from a corner-case hazard to a nationwide problem.

Clear recall pathways—immediate refunds, visible notices, and durable replacement parts—matter more than corporate boundary lines to the injured family ^[1].

How to think clearly as facts trickle out

Start with what is solid: a reported amputation linked to a named lounge chair and a recall citing a pinch-point amputation risk ^[1]. Demand the next layer: model identifiers, unit counts, and the specific remedy.

Treat social-media noise and speculative engineering takes as placeholders until the underlying file appears.

Hold two ideas at once: rare injuries can still demand recalls, and headlines alone cannot establish defect prevalence. That balance respects consumer safety and common sense without deputizing outrage as evidence ^[1].
