Plaintiff,
v. CIVIL ACTION
FIDOPHARM, INC., VELCERA, INC., CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT and WAL-MART STORES, INC. AND DEMAND FOR
JURY TRIAL Defendants.
CLASS ACTION
1
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 2 of 25 PagelD: 2
Plaintiffs Lynda Frost and William Valentine, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, by and through their attorneys, allege upon personal knowledge as to themselves
and upon information and belief as to the other allegations of this Complaint, as follows:
NATURE OF THE CASE
1. This is a class action pursuant to F.R.C.P 23, on behalf of all persons and entities
who purchased PetArmor manufactured, distributed, marketed and sold by Defendants, FidoPharm,
Inc., Velcera, Inc., and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (hereinafter, "Defendants").
2. Plaintiffs bring this class action for breach of express warranty, breach of implied
warranty of merchantability, unjust enrichment, the violation of the Florida Deceptive And Unfair
Trade Practices Act, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 4-88-101 to 4-88-207, the Arkansas Deceptive Trade
Practices Act, and Common Law Fraud to redress the economic damages resulting from the
manufacture, production and sale by the Defendants of the unsafe flea and tick Products, PetArmor
and PetArmor Plus for the Plaintiffs and Class Members and to secure preliminary and permanent
injunctive relief, and other equitable relief as may be deemed appropriate for the Plaintiffs and Class
Members.
3. As described in more detail below, Defendant FidoPharm, Inc. (hereinafter
"FidoPharm") has a principal place of business in Yardley, Pennsylvania. Defendant FidoPharm is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Velcera, Inc.
4. FidoPharm manufactures, produces and sells PetArmor and PetArmor Plus as a flea
and tick control "Product" for dogs and cats (hereinafter the "Product" or "Products"). PetArmor
contains the insecticide fipronil and PetArmor Plus contains fipronil and methoprene as active
2
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 3 of 25 PagelD: 3
ingredients. PetArmor has the same active ingredients as Frontline which is manufactured by
Merial Limited. PetArmor was introduced into the marketplace on or about May, 2011 as a
"generic" brand of Frontline. FidoPharm states on its website that "the active ingredient in
PetArmor, fipronil, has been proven safe and effective in studies and over many years". Attached
hereto as Exhibit A is Defendant FidoPharm's website, www.petarmor.com containing this
statement. FidoPharm had, or should have had, knowledge of the adverse reactions that pets were
experiencing after the application of the fipronil products. The "Products" traditionally are
marketed and sold as packets with three separate applications in individual vials. Plaintiffs and
Class Members all purchased the "Products" and did not use all or some of the "Products" because
they are unsafe.
5. Defendant FidoPharm misrepresents that PetArmor does not enter the bloodstream
of the pet. Defendant FidoPharm claims on its website that PetArmor works the same way as
Frontline, "The active ingredient in PetArmor is fipronil (the same as in Frontline® Top Spot®)
PetArmor works the same way as Frontline Top Spot. PetArmor is just as safe and effective as
Frontline Top Spot." Attached as Exhibit B is Defendant FidoPharm's website,
www.petarmor.com containing this statement. Merial states on its website that Frontline is not
absorbed into the pet's bloodstream., "Frontline is absorbed into my dog's bloodstream isn't it? No.
Frontline is dispersed in the oil layer of the skin and then stored in the sebaceous glands of skin."
FidoPharm had, or should have had knowledge that fipronil in the PetArmor product is absorbed
into the bloodstream of the pet. Attached as Exhibit C is the statement on Merial's website.
6. The unsafe Products caused Plaintiffs and Class members monetary damages and
ascertainable losses, in that Plaintiffs and Class members purchased the "Products" and the
3
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 4 of 25 PagelD: 4
"Products" failed to perform as advertised and are worth objectively less than what one could
reasonably expect.
7. Defendants knew or should have known that after application of these "Products" to
dogs and/or cats according to the product instructions and representations the Products caused
injury to said pets in that they became ill with central nervous system disorders/symptoms, rashes,
itching, hair loss and loss of appetite requiring veterinarians visits, hospitalizations, cessation of use
of remaining product and, in some cases, burials of those pets that died from complications caused
by the use of the PetArmor products.
8. The product is unsafe because it causes skin irritation and neurological problems
with greater severity and frequency than that cited in its misleading advertising and marketing.
Defendants' misrepresented the risk of use of the product to the public which was an
unconscionable commercial practice.
9. Defendant FidoPharm's advertising and marketing on the insert that comes with the
PetArmor product provides misleading advertising and marketing to consumers. Attached hereto
as Exhibit D is the insert. It reads:
"Sensitivities may occur after using ANY pesticide product for pets. While temporary
irritation at the application area may occur, if signs of continual sensitivity occur, consult a
veterinarian immediately."
PARTIES
10. Plaintiff Lynda Frost is a resident of Arkansas, having a place of residence in
Mabelvale, Arkansas.
11. Plaintiff William Valentine is a resident of Florida, having a place of residence in
Bunnell, Florida.
4
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 5 of 25 PagelD: 5
12. Defendant, FidoPharm, Incorporated is a wholly owned subsidiary of Defendant
Velcera, Incorporated, and is a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of business in Yardley,
Pennsylvania. Defendant has and continues to have significant contacts with the State of New Jersey.
Among other things, defendant does business in the State of New Jersey, has a chain of distribution
in the State of New Jersey, and has derived and continues to derive significant revenue and income
from the residents of the State of New Jersey.
13. Defendant Velcera, Incorporated is a Delaware Corporation with its principal place
of business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
14. Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ("Wal-Mart") is a Delaware corporation with its
principle place of business at 702 S.W. 8 th Street, Bentonville, Arkansas, and local stores located at,
among other places, 150 Harrison Avenue, Kearny, New Jersey and 400 Park Place, Secaucus, New
Jersey.
15. Wal-Mart is the "Retailer Defendant". The Retailer Defendant is among the largest
retailers of pet supplies, including the products which form the subject matter of this action.
16. The Retailer Defendant has had, and continues to have, significant contacts with the
State of New Jersey. Among other things, defendant does business in the State of New Jersey, has
a chain of distribution in the State of New Jersey and has derived and continues to derive significant
revenue and income from residents of the State of New Jersey.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
17. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1391 because defendants
provided products and services to Class Members located in this district, and conducted substantial
business in this district. This Court has original jurisdiction over this class action under 28 U.S.C.
5
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 6 of 25 PagelD: 6
§1332(d)(2), (d) (5)(B), (d) (6) because (i) there are 100 or more class members, (ii) there is an
aggregate amount in controversy of at least $5,000,000, exclusive of interest and costs, and (iii)
there is minimal diversity because Plaintiffs and Defendants are citizens of different states.
CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
18. This action is brought and may properly proceed as a class action, pursuant to the
provisions of F.R.C.P. 23. Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and all others
similarly situated. Proposed F.R.C.P 23(b)(3)Class is defined as follows:
All purchasers of PetArmor and PetArmor Plus products ("the products") for dogs and cats
between September 15, 2005 and the present who incurred economic damages as a result of not
using the remaining unsafe product they purchased.
Wal -Mart Class:
All purchasers of PetArmor and PetArmor Plus products ("the products") for dogs and cats between September 15, 2005 and the present who incurred economic damages as a result of not using the remaining unsafe product they purchased.
19. Plaintiffs further propose the following F.R.C.P 23(13)(2) Class for which injunctive
and declaratory relief only is sought. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin Defendant from selling the PetArmor
and PetArmor Plus products. This (b)(2) class is defined as follows:
All purchasers in the past and future of fipronil-containing PetArmor and PetArmor Plus products ("the products") in the United States for dogs and cats.
20. This action is properly maintainable as a class action. The class for whose benefit
this action is brought is so numerous and geographically dispersed that joinder of all members is
impracticable, and the disposition of their claims in a class action will provide substantial benefits
to both the parties and the Court. The numerosity requirement of F.R.C.P. 23(a)(1) is therefore
satisfied.
6
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 7 of 25 PagelD: 7
21. A class action is superior to other methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of
the claims herein asserted, and no unusual difficulties are likely to be encountered in the
management of this class action. Since the damages suffered by individual class members may be
relatively small, the expense and burden of individual litigation makes it impossible for members
of the Class to individually seek redress for the wrongful conduct alleged.
22. Rule 23(a)(2) and Rule 23(b)(3) are both satisfied because there are questions of law
and fact which are common to the Class and which predominate over questions affecting any
individual class member. The common questions include, inter alia, the following:
a. Whether defendants breached any express or implied warranties when Defendants
Velcera and FidoPharm manufactured the unsafe product and Defendant Wal-Mart sold the unsafe
Product;
b. Whether defendants' business practices constitute violations of the violation of
the Arkansas Code Ann. §§ 4-88-101 to 4-88-207 Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Florida
Stat. Ann. §§ 501.201 to 501.213 Deceptive And Unfair Trade Practices Act, and, if so, the measure
of damages and triple damages;
c. Whether defendant Wal-Mart has been unjustly enriched by its practices as
detailed herein;
d. Whether defendants Velcera and FidoPharm's products were not reasonably fit,
suitable or safe for their intended purpose because they were designed in a defective manner;
e. Whether defendants' actions were sufficiently wrongful so as to entitle Plaintiffs
and all others similarly situated to punitive damages; and,
f. Whether the Class has been damaged and/or suffered irreparable harm and, if so,
7
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 8 of 25 PagelD: 8
the extent of such damages and/or the nature of the equitable and injunctive relief which each
member of the Class is entitled.
23. Plaintiffs' claims and the claims of members of the Class all derive from a common
nucleus of operative facts.
24. In satisfaction of F.R.C.P. 23(a)(3) and 23(a)(4), Plaintiffs are asserting claims that
are typical of the claims of the entire Class, and Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately represent and
protect the interests of the Class in that it has no interests that are antagonistic to those of the other
members of the Class. Plaintiffs anticipate no difficulty in the management of this litigation as a
Class action. Plaintiffs have retained counsel who are competent and experienced in the
prosecution of class action litigation.
25. Pursuant to F.R.C.P. 23(b)(1) and (b)(2), Defendants have acted or refused to act
on grounds generally applicable to the Class, making appropriate injunctive and declaratory relief
with respect to the proposed Class and subclass as a whole.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
26. Defendant FidoPharm purports "that the active ingredient in Pet Armor, fipronil,
has been proven safe and effective in studies and over many years." Attached hereto as Exhibit
E is this statement found on PetArmor's website.
27. Defendant Wal-Mart sells PetArmor and PetArmor Plus at their retail stores and
on-line from their web-site, www.walmart.com . On Defendant's web-site, they have a statement
on their "Pet Supplies" home page stating, "Pets Love Wal-Mart. Top Brands to Keep Your Pet
Healthy, Active and Strong". Attached hereto as Exhibit F is the Wal-Mart web-site page.
Wal-Mart also advertises PetArmor with this phrase, "Keep Your Puppy Healthy for Less".
8
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 9 of 25 PagelD: 9
Attached as Exhibit G is the web-site page. Wal-Mart states on its website that, "PetArmor for
Dogs up to 22 lb. provides the same #1 veterinarian-recommended active ingredient, Fipronil, in
the same concentration as Frontline. You get the same flea and tick protection as Frontline at a
significant savings."
28. PetArmor contains the insecticide fipronil and PetArmor Plus contains fipronil and
methoprene as active ingredients. Defendants began selling PetArmor on or about May, 2011.
FidoPharm is marketing and selling PetArmor as a newly available, low cost "version"of Frontline
tick and flea medication which is manufactured by Merial, Limited. FidoPharm represents that
PetArmor contains the same active ingredient as Frontline Attached hereto as Exhibit H is
FidoPharm's comparison of PetArmor to Frontline.
29. PetArmor is manufactured in India by Cipla, Limited. It was registered at the EPA
by LaredoChem, Incorporated. The EPA did not require any testing of PetArmor for registration
because FidoPharm submitted the previous testing that was completed for the Frontline product
registration. Attached hereto as Exhibit I is the EPA product registration application.
30. The current Chairman of Defendant Velcera, John Preston, was the founding
Executive Chairman of Merial. The Chief Executive Officer of Defendant Velcera, Dennis
Steadman, was Vice President of Operations at Merial. Attached hereto as Exhibit J is the Reuters
News Agency's biographies for Defendant Velcera's executives.
31. Prior to the introduction of PetArmor into the market, Frontline was the leading
seller of flea and tick medication. Attached hereto as Exhibit K is Merial's statement found on
their website as to their market share: "Merial produces 100 million pipettes of Frontline every
year" These insecticides are regulated and registered through the EPA and FDA. Any adverse
9
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 10 of 25 PagelD: 10
reactions that are reported to the manufacturers must be then reported to the EPA.
32. The EPA issued an advisory on April 21, 2009 regarding the Flea and Tick Control
Products for Pets. This is attached hereto as Exhibit L. The EPA cited a recent sharp increase in
the number of adverse reactions that are being reported from the use of these products. Merial's
Frontline which contains the same active ingredient as PetArmor is one of the seven products that
comprise eighty percent (80%) of the 44,000 reported adverse reactions in 2008.
33. Petco advised consumers who were interested in purchasing flea and tick
medication through their website, www.petco.com , that the EPA has reported an increase in
complaints about these adverse reactions. Attached as Exhibit M is the www.petco.com advisory.
34. Defendant FidoPharm launched the sale of PetArmor in May, 2011, a full two years
after the EPA advisory of April 21, 2009. FidoPharm misrepresents that PetArmor does not enter
the bloodstream of the pets. FidoPharm makes the representation on its website that PetArmor
works the same way as Frontline. Merial represents that its product, Frontline is not absorbed into
the bloodstream. Many of the adverse reactions reported to the EPA involved systemic and serious
reactions and deaths after the use of Frontline. FidoPharm had, or should have had knowledge that
fipronil in the PetArmor product is absorbed into the bloodstream of the pet.
35. Notably, FidoPharm partnered with the American Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals ("ASPCA") to launch PetArmor. The ASPCA has selected PetArmor as their
"official" flea and tick treatment for dogs and cats at its adoption center and clinic. FidoPharm is
providing free PetArmor medication to the ASPCA and is donating up to $100,000 of support to
the ASPCA. Attached hereto as Exhibit N is Defendant FidoPharm's April 20, 2011 Press
Release.
10
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 11 of 25 PagelD: 11
36. The ASPCA operates and owns the Animal Poison Control Center ("APCC"). This
is a twenty-four hour emergency poison hotline for pet owners and handles calls that specifically
pertain to flea and tick reactions in pets. The APCC charges a consultation fee of $65 for a call to
the hotline. The APCC also offers professional services to Animal Pharmaceutical corporations
through their APCC Animal Product Safety Service. The APCC will manage corporate clients'
adverse event reporting to the EPA and offers legal support, toxicology experts and consultation
on product liability. Attached hereto as Exhibit 0 is the list of services that the ASPCA Animal
Product Safety Service offers.
37. The Senior Vice President and head of the APCC is Dr. Steven R. Hanson. He was
the former Director of Veterinary Research for Wellmark International, a major manufacturer of
flea and tick medications Zodiac and BioSpot, which were also listed on the EPA Advisory of
April 21, 2009 (Exhibit H). In 2008, while working for the APCC, he was named the Veterinarian
of the Year which is an award sponsored Hartz Mountain Corporation which is another major
manufacturer of flea and tick medication. Hartz sells Hartz UltraGuard among others which is also
listed on the EPA Advisory of April 21, 2009.
38. During this time, Hartz Mountain Corporation was a client of the APCC. All calls
that came into the APCC regarding the Hartz products were redirected to Hartz Mountain
Corporation and the pet owner's $65 fee was waived, allowing Hartz to directly manage any of
these adverse event reports before they were to be reported to the EPA. Hartz also made major
donations to the ASPCA. Attached hereto as Exhibit P is the 2009 ASPCA Annual Report listing
Hartz Mountain Corporation as a Corporate donor.
39. On June 3, 2009, the ASPCA published a press release in response to the EPA
11
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 12 of 25 PagelD: 12
issuing an advisory due to the increased reporting of adverse reactions to flea and tick medications.
In this press release, the ASPCA advised pet owners that these products are safe and that pet
owners should continue their use. Dr. Steven R. Hanson is quoted saying , "The important take
home message is that although adverse reactions can occur with all flea and tick products, most
effects are relatively mild and include skin irritation and stomach upset." and that "Pet Parents
should not discontinue using the products." Attached as Exhibit Q is the ASPCA press release.
Nowhere in the press release does it state that Dr. Hanson previously worked for a flea and tick
spot on medication manufacturer.
40. The ASPCA, and specifically the APCC, clearly have a relationship with the
manufacturers of the flea and tick medications. Simultaneously, they appear to the public to be an
independent organization representing the best interests of pet owners and their pets with respect
to flea and tick medications.
PLAINTIFFS' ALLEGATIONS
41. Plaintiff William Valentine owned two healthy cats. On or about August, 2011,
Plaintiff purchased PetArmor Plus for flea and tick control and applied it to his cat.
42. After the application of PetArmor Plus, the male cat became very sick and lethargic.
This cat eventually died. Plaintiff did not initially realize that it was the PetArmor that caused his
cat's death and proceeded to apply the product to his second cat. This cat had the same reaction to
the product as the Plaintiffs first cat.
43. Plaintiff called his veterinarian who advised him to wash the medication off the cat.
After that was done, the cat remained weak and lethargic.
44. Plaintiff Lynda Frost owned an eight year old dog named Sissy and a four year old
12
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 13 of 25 PagelD: 13
cat named Tigger. Both pets were healthy with no medical problems. Plaintiff purchased the
PetArmor products at Wal-Mart for the purpose of flea and tick control.
45. Plaintiff applied PetArmor Plus to her cat on July 3, 2011. Tigger became lethargic,
had no appetite and would not even drink water. He normally loved to go outdoors but after the
application of PetArmor, Tigger doesn't want to leave the kitchen floor.
46. On July 15 th, 2011, Plaintiff Frost applied PetArmor to her dog Sissy. Five days
later, on July 20 th, 2011, Plaintiff found Sissy dead in her driveway.
FIRST COUNT
(Breach of Express Warranty)
47. Plaintiffs hereby incorporate by reference each of the preceding allegations as
though fully set forth herein.
48. Defendants FidoPharm, Velcera and Wal-Mart expressly warranted that the unsafe
pet Product was, in fact, a safe flea and tick Product for use on dogs and cats.
49. Defendant FidoPharm expressly warranted that the PetArmor product works the
same as the Frontline Product. FidoPharm state on its website that, "The active ingredient in
PetArmor is fipronil (the same as in Frontline® Top Spot®) PetArmor works the same way as
Frontline Top Spot. PetArmor is just as safe and effective as Frontline Top Spot." Merial, the
manufacturer of Frontline states on its website that Frontline is not absorbed into the pet's
bloodstream., "Frontline is absorbed into my dog's bloodstream isn't it? No. Frontline is dispersed
in the oil layer of the skin and then stored in the sebaceous glands of skin."
50. In addition, Defendants made numerous express warranties about the safety and
quality of its Product. For example, FidoPharm touts on their website the claim that "that the
13
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 14 of 25 PagelD: 14
active ingredient in Pet Armor, fipronil, has been proven safe and effective in studies and over
many years.". Defendant Wal-Mart advertises PetArmor by stating, "Keep your Puppy Healthy for
Less" and that Wal-Mart's pet products, "keep your pet healthy, active and strong". The
Defendant's advertisings and marketing included on the insert with the PetArmor product are
inadequate as it indicates that adverse reactions were "temporary irritation".
51. Members of the Class were induced by Defendants' advertising and marketing of
the Product as being "proven safe", that adverse reactions were simply some "temporary irritation"
and that the Product "works the same way as Frontline" which has been misrepresented as not
entering the bloodstream Plaintiffs and the Class relied upon the express warranties created by
Defendants' statements, and did so rely in purchasing the unsafe Product and applying it to their
pets.
52. In reliance on Defendants' misrepresentations, Plaintiffs and the Class purchased
the PetArmor product and gave it to their pets.
53. By virtue thereof, as a direct and proximate cause of Defendants breach of Express
Warranty, Plaintiffs and Class Members have suffered damages in an amount to be determined
upon trial, which they are entitled to and hereby seek to recover.
54. Wherefore, as a result of Defendants' breach of Express Warranty, the Plaintiffs
and Class Members have suffered ascertainable losses and monetary damages in an amount to be
determined upon trial, which they hereby seek to recover when they were charged by the
defendants for the unsafe pet Product and were unable to use all of the Product.
SECOND COUNT (Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability)
55. Plaintiffs hereby incorporates by reference each of the preceding allegations as
14
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 15 of 25 PagelD: 15
though fully set forth herein.
56. Defendants are merchants pursuant to sections 2-104 and 2-314 of the Uniform
Commercial Code with respect to pet Products.
57. Through Defendants' marketing, advertising and sales, Defendants impliedly
warranted that the unsafe pet Product, which was sold to Plaintiffs and Class Members and
administered to their pets, was fit for the ordinary purpose for which it was intended, namely, to
safely control flea and ticks on pets without any resulting negative health effects, pursuant to
section 2-3114 of the Uniform Commercial Code.
58. Through the Defendants' marketing, advertising, and sales, Defendants knew that
Plaintiffs and Class Members would purchase the unsafe pet Product at issue for the ordinary
purpose of treating flea and/or tick infestations of their pets.
59. Defendants manufactured, advertised, sold and distributed the unsafe pet Product at
issue for the ordinary purpose for which it was purchased by Plaintiffs.
60. Plaintiffs and Class Members purchased and used the unsafe pet Product for
ordinary purposes for which such goods are sold, namely to safely control flea and ticks on their
pets.
61. Plaintiffs and Class Members relied upon Defendants' representations and claims
in purchasing the unsafe pet Product.
62. The unsafe pet Product purchased by Plaintiffs and Class Members were unfit for
their ordinary purpose when sold. In fact, such pet Products were unsafe and caused severe illness
and/or death of the pets that used them. Defendant also warranted that the Product "works the
15
Case 2:11-cv-06976-WJM-MF Document 1 Filed 11/30/11 Page 16 of 25 PagelD: 16
same way as Frontline" which has been misrepresented as not entering the bloodstream. Therefore,
Defendants breached the implied warranty of merchantability in the sale of the unsafe pet Product
at issue.
63. By virtue thereof, as a direct and proximate cause of Defendants breach of Implied
Warranty, Plaintiffs and Class Members sustained damages as a proximate result of said breach of
warranty and hereby seek to recover said damages and other monetary relief to which they may also
be entitled.
64. Wherefore, as a result of Defendants' breach of Implied Warranty, the Plaintiffs and
Class Members have suffered ascertainable losses and monetary damages in an amount to be
determined upon trial, which they hereby seek to recover when they were charged by the
defendants for the unsafe pet Product and were unable to use all of the Product.
THIRD COUNT
(Unjust Enrichment)
65. Plaintiffs hereby incorporate by reference each of the preceding allegations as
though fully set forth herein.
66. As set forth in greater detail above, Defendant profited and benefited from the sale
of their unsafe pet Product, even as the pet Product caused Plaintiffs and Class Members to incur
economic damages.
67. As a result of the conduct described in this Count, the Plaintiffs and Class Members
paid monies to Defendant for which the Plaintiffs and Class Members received no benefit and to
which Defendants were not entitled. Defendants have voluntarily accepted and retained these
profits and benefits, derived from consumers, including Plaintiffs, with full knowledge and
16

Since FRONTLINE® is so effective against fleas and ticks, is it gentle enough for my pet?
Why should I buy FRONTLINE instead of other treatments?
Should I re-apply FRONTLINE if I see more fleas on my pet soon after application?
Do I need to use FRONTLINE even if my dog is not scratching?
Can I stop treating during the cooler months when the fleas disappear?
FRONTLINE is absorbed into my dog's bloodstream Isn't it?
How young can dogs be treated?
Q. Since FRONTLINE® is so effective against fleas and ticks, is it gentle enough for my pet?
A. FRONTLINE has been extensively tested and shown to be well tolerated by dogs even at five times the recommended maximum rate on the label. FRONTLINE has been used with confidence on millions of cats, dogs, puppies and kittens worldwide.
Q. Why should I buy FRONTLINE instead of other treatments?
A. Long-lasting FRONTLINE provides complete protection from the biting stages of fleas and aids in the control of ticks in dogs. It is water fast, remaining effective even after repeated water immersion or shampooing.
Q. Should I re-apply FRONTLINE if I see more fleas on my pet soon after application?
A. No. FRONTLINE only needs to be applied every 8 weeks if using FRONTLINE Top Spot if FRONTLINE Spray. If you see fleas on your treated pet, these have most likely come from your pet's environment and will soon be killed by FRONTLINE.
Q. Do I need to use FRONTLINE even if my dog is not scratching?
A. Yes, not all dogs are sensitive to flea bites. Some dogs can harbour large numbers of fleas without being itchy. However as time goes on they are more likely to become sensitive.

New Zeti48dgfai/Te&SWAIVRONNeigritsWf-RogFiled 11/30/11 Page 3 of 3 Pg8616:4i
Q. Can I stop treating during the cooler months when the fleas disappear?
A. This is a risky strategy. What is actually happening is that the immature pre-adult stage of the flea population go into hibernation. So, although you may not see them on your dog, they will be building up in the environment. Year-round treatment will prevent build-up.
Q. FRONTLINE is absorbed into my dog's bloodstream isn't it?
A. No. FRONTLINE is dispersed in the oil layer of the skin and then stored In the sebaceous glands of skin. Fleas are not required to suck blood to be killed.
Q. How young can dogs be treated?
A. FRONTLINE Spray can be used on puppies as young as 2 days of age. FRONTLINE Top Spot Is designed For dogs 10 weeks and older.

FIDOPHARM AND THE ASPCA TEAM UP TO LAUNCH NEW PETARMORTM OVER-THE-COUNTER FLEA AND TICK TREATMENT
Generic Version of Frontline Offers Increased Accessibility and Affordability to Pet Owners, Collaboration Rallies Nationwide Support for Better Health for All Pets
Yardley, Pa. (April 20, 2011) — Actress and singer Mandy Moore joined FidoPharm today to introduce
PetArmorTM, the first generic fipronil product available on retail shelves nationwide with the same active
ingredients as Frontline To celebrate the launch, Moore, FidoPharm and the ASPCA (American
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals') have teamed up for a national awareness campaign to
highlight the importance of flea and tick treatments and other preventative pet healthcare,
Moore joined the campaign to launch PetArmor and encourage pet owners across the country to take
the PetArmor Protection Pledge in support of the ASPCA, a leading animal welfare organization. The pledge underscores how products like PetArmor provide greater consumer access to affordable quality
care, ensuring better health for all pets. Consumers can purchase PetArmor over the counter at
significant savings.
"Together with Mandy Moore and the ASPCA, we are excited this campaign brings to life our promise of
better health for all pets," said FidoPharm President Alex Kaufman. "With PetArmor now available over
the counter at local retailers, pet owners will have access to the highest quality flea and tick treatment
at a price they can afford."
Take the Pledge The PetArmor Protection Pledge aims to create a community committed to better pet health.
FidoPharm will donate $1 (up to $100,000 total) to the ASPCA for each pledge taken on the PetArmor
Facebook page (www.facebook.com/PetArmor) . Every person who pledges also receives a $2 coupon
toward a purchase of PetArmor.
"As a dog lover and someone who takes pet health very seriously, I was happy to take the PetArmor
Protection Pledge and use PetArmor on my dogs to keep them safe from flea and ticks," said Moore. "I encourage pet owners from coast to coast to make this promise and give back to the pets that bring so
much joy to our families."

An Official Flea and Tick Treatment
Having selected PetArmor as an official flea and tick treatment, the ASPCA will use PetArmor for dogs and cats at its adoption center and clinic. Pets adopted from the ASPCA through the end of the year—
including animals recovered from RSPCA disaster relief and animal rescue efforts — will also be offered
PetArmor.
"Because the ASPCA and FidoPharm share a common vision that all pets deserve the best care, it was an
easy choice to make PetArmor an official flea and tick sponsor," said Elysia Howard, vice president of
marketing & licensing for the ASPCA. "With the support of PetArmor, we rest assured that needy dogs
and cats will receive the effective flea and tick protection they need to live healthy, happy lives."
In addition to providing free treatment, FidoPharm is donating up to $100,000 through the PetArmor
Protection Pledge to support the ASPCA's efforts,
Coast-to-Coast Protection PetArmor contains fipronil, the same No. 1 vet-recommended active ingredient for combating fleas and
ticks, in the same concentration, providing the same flea and tick protection as Frontline. It is the first generic fipronil product approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to treat both cats and
dogs of all sizes, and comes in two products: • PetArmor (containing fipronil) — kills fleas, ticks and chewing lice • PetArmor Plus (containing fipronil and (S)-methoprene) — kills fleas, flea eggs, ticks and chewing
lice
PetArmor is the first generic fipronil flea and tick treatment available on retail shelves nationwide. For
more information about the product or to take the PetArmor Protection Pledge, visit www.PetArmor.com or www.facebook.comPetArmon
