Cobalt-60 is a radioactive material commonly used in industrial gauging equipment and other uses.ÊThe radioactive levels in the affected products are far below federal regulatory limits, and Petco claims that all testing conducted on these products indicates that there is no health risk to the public or to pets. SKU numbers can be found on labels inside and on the bottom of the bowls.
