Health Risks
There has been one reported oral injury in connection with consumption of the recalled product. Any consumer who has been exposed to the affected product, and is experiencing sickness or injury, should contact their medical provider immediately.
Food contaminated with foreign objects has the potential to cause severe harm, including choking, injury, illness, damage to teeth, gums, tongue, throat, mouth, stomach, and intestines or even death in most people. Infants, the elderly, and recent surgery patients could also be at extreme risk of serious injury.
Commenting on this article, the nation’s leading food poisoning lawyer said, “Any consumer with the recalled product should stop using it right away. Even though the food may look safe, with no evidence of foreign materials, it still could contain particles that could cause injury or sickness.”
