Saw this on TheHorse.com:

A California barn operator is seeking a settlement from a feed producer on grounds that 13 of her horses died after consuming horse feed suspected of being tainted with an antibiotic.

Monensin is an ionophore antibiotic sometimes included in ruminant, swine, and poultry feed that is toxic to horses.

In September, Western Milling LLC voluntarily recalled some batches of Western Blend horse feed after learning that several horses reported to have consumed the feed either became ill or died. The suspect feed was distributed in California and Arizona. A written statement from Western Milling indicated that all but 67 of the 1,100 recalled feed bags were claimed by the company.

On Dec. 3, California barn operator and horse trainer Katie Flanigan alleged that 13 of her horses had died and another 49 had sustained long-term complications after ingesting the allegedly tainted feed.

“A total of 13 died, but the surviving horses are all damaged,” she said.

Attorney Andrew Yaffa said he had contacted Western Milling on behalf Flanigan seeking a settlement for the loss and illness of the horses. He declined to disclose the amount sought in the settlement.

“We have been talking to them and we'll see if they are going to do the right thing,” he said, “but we may well end up in litigation.”

Yaffa said no suit had yet been filed in the case.

No one from Western Milling was available for comment.

If it's settled out of court I would guess there will be a nondisclosure agreement.

Common Sense and then some

Location: So. California		I'm not sure what your question is...

The feed mill immediately pulled the product, notified all the dealers and released a public statement.  Sadly, the damage was done and this barn operator must have gotten a large bad batch.  The lawsuit is warranted to get financial reimbursement.  The emotional side is whole different story..  Lawsuits take time.
