This lists the Petco recalls in FDA's Enforcement Report since 2012. Older recalls aren't included, and a very recent one can take weeks to appear. FDA records name the firm, not the brand, so every match here was checked by hand against the product description. Few or no recalls in these records doesn't mean a brand hasn't had any safety issues, only that FDA hasn't recorded a recall for it in this period.
