Received a response to my email to Mice Direct.
I'm satisfied with their handling of the situation.


Hello Steve,

Quick Note: Hey, sorry that you were contacted by ny times. Please read
following statement. Thanks, #####

We apologize for the time is has taken to respond to all of our customers
individually. We are a small company and have been working day and night to
resolve this issue and are trying to keep our doors open for business. Your
support is greatly needed. The outpouring of support that we are receiving
is very much appreciated as we are 100% committed to our customers.

It is important to understand that this type of Salmonella does not transfer
to reptiles. The only harm in having handled this product is to humans and
not reptiles. Good Hygiene effectively mitigates chances of transfering
Salmonella to humans.

In this recall, it is asked that you either return the product in its
original container or destroy the product. We cannot force you to return or
destroy the product. The decision is yours.

As of 7/24/10, we have started irradiating our product which eliminates
bacteria and disease. This process does not change anything about the
rodent, except killing contaminates. We are not aware of anyone else using
this method. Please advise us as to your decision and we will accommodate
you. We are attaching the statement that we have on our website for you.

Please forgive this form type email, as we are receiving many emails and are
trying to accommodate all the requests we have. We very much want to
continue to earn your business and trust by provided you healthy food for
your animals. Your support during this very difficult time is most
appreciated.

Best Regards,
