Fat Cat, Inc. Joins the Bamboo Family

Leading Pet Product Manufacturer Announces Acquisition of Award-Winning Dog, Cat Toy Company; Creative, Unconventional Products Complement Existing Bamboo Line

NORTH HILLS, Calif., (April 27, 2007) - Bamboo®, the pet care division of leading baby product manufacturer Munchkin Inc., announces the acquisition of leading cat and dog toy manufacturer, Fat Cat Inc. Known for whimsical cat and dog toys with an innovative, clever design, Fat Cat is the third brand within the Munchkin parent company. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Fat Cat will remain a separate brand under the Munchkin umbrella. The founder of Vermont-based Fat Cat Inc., John Lika, will join Munchkin as vice president of creative, and the Fat Cat design team will remain intact in Vermont in an effort to continue to bring out-of-the-box creativity and innovation to new pet and infant product launches.

"We're thrilled to bring Fat Cat into the Munchkin family," said Steven B. Dunn, president and chief executive officer, Munchkin Inc. "The brand perfectly complements our Bamboo product offering and fits well with Bamboo's philosophy, 'Pets are kids, too.' We look forward to the Fat Cat creative team bringing its wacky design approach to not only our pet products, but throughout Munchkin's infant and toddler lines as well."

Fat Cat made its foray into the pet industry 16 years ago when husband-and-wife team John and Anne Lika began making handmade cat toys for family and friends as silly holiday gifts. Soon the designs and high-quality products made the toys truly unique items in the pet product space. With John's experience as the former marketing director for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, along with Anne's fine arts background, Fat Cat quickly became a popular brand. Today Fat Cat manufactures numerous eye-catching, tongue-in-cheek products, from fancy dog beds to Hilary Clinton dog chew toys. Its four product lines include "Kitty Hoots," "Doggy Hoots," "Fat Cat" and "Dancing Dog," all featuring colorful, zany graphics.

"This is an exciting opportunity to take our mission of 'Making People & Pets Laugh' to a new level," John Lika said. "There is a dynamic synergy between the Fat Cat and Munchkin/Bamboo teams that holds great promise for future innovation in both the pet and infant markets."

Menu Foods Pet Food Recall Expands

Menu Foods has previously recalled wet cat and dog food produced with adulterated wheat gluten supplied by ChemNutra Inc. Menu Foods is now expanding the recall to include cuts and gravy and select other products which do not include ChemNutra wheat gluten but which were manufactured at any of Menu Foods’ plants during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used at that plant, to the extent they have not already been subject to a recall, due to the possibility of cross-contamination. Menu Foods has received a report from a customer and has received study results, both of which indicate cross-contamination.

As a result, Menu advises the public:

• Additional items in the United States and Canada have been added to the recall list as shown below. A further two varieties for Europe have been added to the recall list.
• The recall dates of those products previously recalled have been modified to include all dates during the period that ChemNutra wheat gluten was used in the applicable Menu plant. All of these products, including the expanded dates, have previously been withdrawn from the market and should already be off the retailer shelves.

Menu estimates that this additional recall represents less than 5% of the products that have already been recalled or withdrawn.

An updated list of the recalled products, including this addition, is available at the Menu Foods website at http://www.menufoods.com/.
