It is a voluntary recall as this batch could be contaminated with salmonella. To identify the defective product all you have to do is check the production code on the container:

The other concerns Purina wet food. This product is purchased from veterinarian clinics. It is OM weight management cat food: Purina Veterinary Diets OM Overweight Management.

The batch and details are:

Purina Veterinary Diets OM (Overweight Management) Feline Formula, 5.5 oz. can size, JUN 2013 "Best Buy" date, UPC Code 11721159 38100 - 13810.

This is a voluntary recall as well. However it was instigated by a customer complaint. The defect is a too low a concentration of thiamin. Thiamin is an essential ingredient in cat food. Thiamin is vitamin B1. The defective cans should be thrown out. Read more here.
