PetSmart Recalls Top Paw Double Diner Dog Bowls for Laceration Hazard

PetSmart is recalling about 100,300 Top Paw Double Diner Dog Bowls because the gasket on the bottom can come off, leaving a sharp unfinished edge that poses a risk of laceration. Three reports of cuts and scratches have been received.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Three reports of actual injury (cuts and scratches) have been documented. While the hazard is real and caused harm, the injuries reported are minor (not hospitalization-level) and the product is a consumer item not in the high-risk categories such as food with pathogens or vehicles with structural defects. This meets the threshold for Moderate rather than High.
