The recall notice is on the mfgr website: http://www.purinamills.com/
link on the lower right of the main page.

The recall involves 3 plants, and only certain lots produced in those
plants. Horse feed from those plants is distributed in the eastern US.

If you go to http://horse.purinamills.com/ you'll find a link in the lower
right to "Eastern US Feed Product Retrieval" information...

Here's what it says:

Eastern U.S. Feed Product Retrieval
Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC has implemented a voluntary product retrieval
of certain feeds manufactured between November 3, 2007 and February 8,
2008 at our Statesville, N.C., feed plant; between January 1, 2008 and
February
8, 2008 at our Harrisburg, Penn., feed plant; and between January 1, 2008
and
March 10, 2008 at our Guilderland, N.Y. plant.
This voluntary retrieval was initiated due to the possible presence of
aflatoxin
contamination above acceptable levels.
To date, we have received no confirmed aflatoxin-related animal health
complaints involving any of the retrieved products. Nevertheless, we have
taken
such precautionary action as our utmost priority continues to be our
customers
and the well-being of their animals.
All dealers who purchased any of the retrieved products directly from Land
O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC have been notified. These dealers are located in the
following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and
West Virginia.
Our investigation and product testing identified one ingredient of concern,
which
originated from a single supplier. We have discontinued purchasing from this
supplier. Other feed companies that purchased from this supplier are facing
a
similar situation.
For more information about specific products included in the retrieval,
contact the
Statesville, N.C., Feed Plant at 704-924-5100 or the Harrisburg, Penn., Feed
Plant at 717-737-4581.
