Toxic mould from recycling caddies can be fatal to people & pets including cats & dogs due to risks of Mycotoxicosis.2 dogs recently, nearly died due to this,1 is still fighting for its life.Councils are currently failing to warn of potential lethal risks.We ask you ensure they do as a duty of care.

Below is the council concerned's link that doesn't appear to warn of lethal mould risks:http://www.dacorum.gov.uk/home/environment-street-care/recycling-refuse-waste/household-waste-recycling/food-waste-caddies
