Why this matters
Hard or sharp foreign objects can damage teeth and gums and can cut tissues of the mouth, throat, stomach, or intestines. Metal fragments are rare, but this is exactly the kind of issue recalls are built to catch. A quick check now keeps you and your family safe.

We do our best to be accurate and current, but errors or delays are possible. Always check the official FDA, USDA, or CPSC recall pages for confirmation before taking action.
