Three popular dog leads have been withdrawn from all Pets At Home stores in the UK and Ireland following the death of a family's beloved pet.
A Beagle-Harrier died in a collision with a van in Belfast after the clip securing the harness to the KONG-branded lead unexpectedly snapped open. Joanne McPoland and Ed Hughes had purchased the lead for their one-year-old pooch Archie just 48 hours earlier.
They told Belfast Live of their heartbreak and regret after assuming the lead made by the trusted brand would not let them down. The couple have now turned their grief into action as they've launched a campaign calling for Pets At Home to issue a product recall notice, which can only happen when approved by the US company, Mission Pets.
