DALLAS - Pet care company POOPH® Inc. has severed ties with supplier ONM, a BioLargo Inc. subsidiary, citing serious quality control failures that highlight broader concerns about environmental and quality standards in consumer product manufacturing.
Quality Control Breakdown
The termination, announced October 1, 2025, follows a pattern of manufacturing defects including leaking bottles, malfunctioning sprayers, and improperly affixed labels. These issues mirror broader quality control and oversight challenges facing manufacturers globally.
"In order to ensure that POOPH® always meets or exceeds consumer expectations, it is imperative that we maintain the very highest quality control standards at every level of our supply chain," stated Jane Pak, chief executive officer of POOPH® Inc.
