  • Chrysler recalls 320,000 SUVs, telling owners to park outside over battery fire risk

    [ad_1]

    Chrysler is recalling 320,065 Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees because the plug-in hybrid SUVs’ high-voltage batteries could fail, potentially causing a fire while a vehicle is parked or in motion, according to federal regulators. 

    The affected vehicles include the Jeep Wrangler 4Xe for model years 2000-2025 and the Grand Cherokee 4Xe from 2022-2026. 

    Owners should park the vehicles outside and away from structures, and not charge the cars until they are fixed, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a recall notice. The agency said a fix for the issue is currently under development, but didn’t specify when it might be available to vehicle owners. 

    In a statement to CBS News, Chrysler owner Stellantis said that a fix will be available soon. 

    “A remedy is imminent and affected customers will be notified when they may schedule service,” the company said.

    It added, “Vehicle risk is reduced when the battery charge level is depleted. Accordingly, owners are advised to refrain from recharging. Out of an abundance of caution, the company is also advising owners of these vehicles to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained.”

    The recall notice said that an estimated 5% of the recall cars may have the defect. Chrysler said it has received 19 reports of fires linked to the batteries and of one injury, although the documents didn’t disclose details about that incident.  

    “Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures and not to charge their vehicles until the remedy is completed,” NHTSA said.

    Chrysler, which is owned by automaker Stellantis, said that notification letters alerting owners to the risks will be mailed Dec. 2, while additional letters will be sent once a remedy is available. 

    According to NHTSA, the recalled Jeep Wranglers and Grand Cherokees were built with a high-voltage battery pack manufactured with cells that could be susceptible to damage, which can lead to vehicle fires. 

    For more information, owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403; the company’s number for the recall is 68C.

  • Company recalls 2 million pounds of barbecue pork jerky that may contain metal wire

    [ad_1]

    CHICAGO — A South Dakota company is recalling more than 2.2 million pounds (998,000 kilograms) of Korean barbecue pork jerky sold at Costco and Sam’s Club stores because the product may be contaminated with pieces of metal, federal health officials said Friday.

    LSI, Inc., of Alpena, voluntarily pulled the product after customers complained about finding pieces of wiry metal in the jerky, according to the U.S. Agriculture Department. Company officials said the metal came from a conveyor belt used in production. No confirmed injuries have been reported,

    The recall includes 14.-5-ounce (410-gram) and 16-ounce (450-gram) plastic pouches of meat jerky labeled “Golden Island fire-grilled pork jerky Korean barbecue recipe.” Roughly four dozen lots of jerky are affected. The products have a one-year shelf life with best-by dates ranging from Oct. 23, 2025, to Sept. 23, 2026. The packages contain the establishment number M279A inside the USDA mark of inspection.

    People shouldn’t eat the recalled jerky and should throw it away or return it to stores for refund.

    Contamination with rocks, sticks, insects and other foreign objects occasionally occurs in food produced in the U.S. Consumers who find foreign materials in food should notify manufacturers, food safety experts said.

  • Ford recalling 1.4 million vehicles over faulty rearview camera

    [ad_1]

    Ford Motor Company is recalling 1,448,655 vehicles over an issue with the rearview camera that safety regulators say could increase the risk of a crash.

    According to the recall notice, posted Oct. 13 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rearview camera on certain Ford vehicles can display distorted images or a blank screen when a vehicle is in reverse, increasing the risk of a crash.

    The recall involves the following Ford several vehicles and model years, including the Ford Explorer and Ford Escape.

    To fix the problem, dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera free of charge, according to the NHTSA. Letters notifying owners of affected vehicles of the rearview camera risk will be mailed in October. 

    Owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for the recall is 25SA9. 

    Owners can also contact the NHTSA safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171), or go to www.nhtsa.gov. NHTSA’s number for the recall is 25V695.

    The announcement follows a series of other camera-related Ford recalls. 

    Earlier this month, the U.S. automaker recalled 290,000 models noting that the 360-degree camera system may not display rearview images properly in certain lighting conditions, increasing the risk of crash.

    Nearly 1.1 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles were also recalled in May and an additional 200,000 in July due to similar issues.

  • Listeria recall of food included in federal school breakfast and lunch programs

    [ad_1]

    Frozen meals served to students across the United States as part of federally-funded school breakfast and lunch programs may be contaminated with listeria and have been recalled, officials announced on Saturday. 

    The recall applied to approximately 91,585 pounds of prepackaged breakfast burritos and wraps, manufactured by the California company M.C.I. Foods between Sept. 17 and Oct. 14, said the Food Safety and Inspection Service, a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that focuses on public health regulations. 

    Its announcement cited seven different types of frozen breakfast products that could be tainted. They are distributed to low-income students around the country as part of the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs, which the Department of Agriculture administers. The breakfast program served more than 14 million children in 2016, and close to 30 million children participated in the lunch program in 2019, according to the department.

    There are no confirmed reports of illnesses tied to the recalled products, which include burritos and wraps sold by the brands El Mas Fino, Los Cabos and Midamar and contain egg, cheese and various meats like beef, ham, sausage and turkey, according to the Food Safety and Inspection Service. The agency said it recalled those products after the manufacturer discovered listeria while conducting routine testing on egg ingredients from its external suppliers.

    “FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutional refrigerators of freezers,” said the agency. “Institutions are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away.”

    Listeria is an infection caused by bacteria of the same name that spreads through food. Fever, headache, stiff neck, muscle aches, confusion, loss of balance and a range of gastrointestinal problems are some of the symptoms brought on by the illness, according to the Mayo Clinic. The clinic warns that pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems are at the highest risk of developing a harmful infection. 

    People can be infected with listeria without becoming seriously ill, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency has estimated that listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illness in the U.S., with 1,250 people contracting the infection and 172 dying from the infection each year. 

    Public health officials note that flu-like symptoms caused by listeria can signal an “invasive” infection, meaning one that has spread from the gastrointestinal tract, where symptoms may start, to other parts of the body. These invasive infections typically develop within two months of eating contaminated food, according to the CDC.

    Multiple listeria outbreaks have been reported just this month. One impacted meal kits from the food subscription service HelloFresh and another forced the recall of nearly 245,000 pounds of precooked pasta, from the California company Nate’s Fine Foods, which turned deadly and potentially contaminated dozens of different products sold in grocery stores nationwide

  • Stellantis recalls nearly 300,000 Dodge vehicles over rollaway risk

    [ad_1]


    Stellantis is recalling more than 298,000 Dodge Dart vehicles over a shifter cable problem that could cause the cars to roll away, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

    The affected cars are from the 2013-2016 model years. Their shifter cables can detach from the transmission, which makes the vehicles vulnerable to rolling away when parked, the NHTSA said in a recall notice.

    The agency is working on a remedy for vehicle owners. In the meantime, Chrysler is expected to mail notices explaining the safety risk to customers on Nov. 6. For information about the recall, contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. The number for the recall is A0C.

    Earlier this year, Stellantis also recalled 63,000 Jeep Cherokees over a defect that caused the vehicles to lose power, resulting in loss of the parking function.

    Separately, Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram Trucks and other auto brands, on Tuesday announced plans to invest $13 billion in its U.S. manufacturing operations over the next four years. Stellantis said it expects to create 5,000 jobs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio in what it described the largest U.S. investment in the company’s history.

  • Cake popularized by Tom Cruise’s holiday gifting is recalled over health concerns

    [ad_1]

    Tom Cruise’s friends and colleagues may have been given a taste of something unexpected. 

    Los Angeles-based Doan’s Bakery is recalling two cakes, including its White Chocolate Coconut cake, which was popularized after actor Tom Cruise began gifting the dessert to friends during the holidays. The recall stems from a labeling error, according to the FDA.

    Doan’s White Chocolate Coconut and Carrot Bundt cakes may contain undeclared wheat and milk, the FDA said in an Oct. 1 statement.

    The bakery voluntarily recalled the cakes because of the undeclared allergens, which pose a risk to people allergic to wheat or milk, who can experience serious or life-threatening reactions if they consume such products, the FDA said.

    Doan’s sold the cakes, which it shipped nationwide through Goldbelly.com, from June 1, 2025, to September 24, 2025.

    The bakery has since updated its labeling, and said no allergic reactions or illnesses have been reported in connection with the issue, which was discovered during a routine facility inspection last month.

    On Goldbelly.com, the coconut cake sells for  $110, while the carrot cake has a price tag of $106.

    On the site, they are billed as “a coveted gift each year among Hollywood’s A-list celebs.” Goldbelly also describes the coconut cake as a “personal favorite of one famous actor,” without naming Cruise. 

    The site lists some notable recipients of the cake, including Barbara Walters, Jimmy Fallon, Kirsten Dunst, Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett and others. 

    A 2021 Spectrum News segment identified Cruise as a customer and said the family-owned shop is grateful for his patronage. In 2022, Rosie O’Donnell posted a photo on social media of the cake accompanied by a card reading, “Warmest wishes to you this holiday season, Tom Cruise.”

    “It’s insane, because I would have on Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy goes, ‘You know what we have to look forward to next month, Tom’s coconut cake,’” bakery owner and cake creator Karen Doan told the outlet.

  • Kroger recalls deli pasta salads due to possible listeria contamination

    [ad_1]

    Two types of pasta salad bowls sold at Kroger and other stores across the U.S. have been recalled due to possible listeria contamination, the Food & Drug Administration announced Saturday.

    The Kroger Company voluntarily recalled “Basil Pesto Bowtie Salad” and “Smoked Mozzarella Penne Salad” following another FDA recall announcement last week involving products with pasta ingredients sold at Albertsons.

    The pasta manufactured in Roseville, California, by Nate’s Fine Foods is possibly contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.

    Kroger’s recalled products were sold across 1,860 Kroger Family of Stores — including Baker’s, City Market, Dillons, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Gerbes, King Soopers, Payless, Ralphs and Smith’s — in the following states: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Ohio, Oregona, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and West Virginia.

    Saturday’s recall announcement came after the Kroger Family of Stores was notified about the Nate’s Fine Foods’ possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination on Sept. 26, the FDA said. The company was notified again about the pasta’s recall that included additional production dates on Oct. 1.

    Listeria infections are caused by eating food contaminated with the bacteria called Listeria monocytogenes. Symptoms can include headaches, fevers, changes in your mental status, difficulty walking and even seizures.

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that people may also experience a stiff neck and flu-like symptoms, such as muscle aches and fatigue.

    Some people are also at higher risk of severe cases, including those who are pregnant, newborns, adults 65 or older, and those with weakened immune systems.

    Customers who have purchased the recalled products are urged not to consume them and return them for a refund.

  • Nearly 4 Million Pounds of Chicken Corn Dogs Recalled Over Wood

    [ad_1]

    Foster Poultry Farms is recalling more than 3.8 million pounds of chicken corn dog products after wood was found in the batter, resulting in injuries.

    The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the massive recall on Saturday, affecting approximately 3,843,040 pounds of products that may be contaminated with pieces of wood embedded in the batter. The Livingston, California-based establishment received numerous consumer complaints, with at least five reported injuries from consumption of the affected products.

    Newsweek reached out to Foster Poultry Farms via online submission form on Sunday for comment.

    Why It Matters

    This latest recall represents the second major corn dog contamination incident in just one week, signaling potential systemic safety failures within the processed meat industry.

    On September 28 the Hillshire Brands Company issued an even larger recall of approximately 58 million pounds of corn dog and sausage on a stick product, also due to wood contamination that injured five consumers

    The contamination involves pieces of wood embedded in the batter of corn dogs, creating a serious injury risk for anyone consuming these products. With distribution reaching schools and military facilities nationwide, the recall highlights the potential for widespread health impacts when safety protocols fail in large-scale food production.

    What To Know

    The Foster Farms recalled chicken corn dog products were manufactured between July 30, 2024, and August 4, 2025, and were sold under various brand names, including “Chicken Corn Dogs Batter Wrapped Chicken Frankfurters on a Stick” and “Corn Dogs Chicken Franks Dipped in Honey Batter.”

    Consumers can identify affected products by looking for the establishment number “P-6137B” printed either inside the USDA mark of inspection or on the packaging.

    The products were distributed to retail and institutional locations across the United States, including Department of Defense facilities and through USDA Commodity Foods donations. While some products reached schools through commercial sales, FSIS clarified they were not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.

    The contamination was discovered after FSIS received a consumer complaint involving an injury, prompting further investigation that revealed multiple additional complaints to the company. The establishment received numerous consumer complaints, with five specifically involving injuries from wood pieces found in the products.

    FSIS has classified this as a serious health risk, with officials expressing particular concern that affected products may still be stored in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers, as well as in institutional storage facilities.

    The agency emphasized that these products should not be consumed under any circumstances and should be immediately discarded or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

    A full list of the products subject to recall can be found here.

    What Should Consumers Do?

    Consumers who have experienced injuries or health issues related to these products are advised to seek immediate medical attention and report their experiences through the Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/, available 24 hours a day.

    The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline (888-674-6854) remains available for food safety questions and concerns.

    What Happens Next?

    FSIS will conduct comprehensive recall effectiveness checks to verify that Foster Farms properly notifies all customers and takes necessary steps to ensure the contaminated products are completely removed from commerce.

    The agency will post retail distribution lists on its website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls as they become available, allowing consumers to check if their local stores received the affected products.

  • Foster Farms corn dogs recalled after wood was found in batter

    [ad_1]

    Nearly 4 million pounds of chicken corn dog products were recalled because they may have been contaminated after pieces of wood were found in the batter, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Saturday.

    According to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, at least five people were injured from consumption of the recalled products produced by California-based Foster Poultry Farms, LLC. The issue was discovered after consumers filed complaints with the FSIS.

    Multiple versions of the Foster Farms Chicken Corn Dogs products produced between July 30, 2024, through Aug. 4, 2025, are included in the recall. They were sold at retail stores and shipped to institutional locations nationwide, the USDA said, including Department of Defense and USDA Commodity Foods donations.

    “While the products were distributed to schools, it resulted from commercial sales and not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program,” the agency’s announcement said.

    The recalled products have the establishment number “P-6137B” either inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed on the packaging. 

    The list of product names and labels can be found on the agency’s website. Consumers and institutions are urged to throw away the products or return them.

    Another corn dog product was recalled last month over similar concerns. Hillshire Brands Company, a subsidiary of Tyson Foods, said that pieces of wood may have become embedded in the batter of its corn dog and sausage-on-a-stick products.

    The recalled items — totaling 58 million pounds — were sold online, at grocery stores, and were also distributed to school districts and food service companies, though not through the USDA’s National School Lunch Program.

  • State Fair corn dogs on stick, Jimmy Dean sausage on stick products recalled due to possible wood pieces in batter

    [ad_1]

    About 58 million pounds of corn dogs and other sausage-on-a-stick products are being recalled across the U.S. because pieces of wood may be embedded in the batter, with several consumers reporting injuries to date.

    According to a Saturday notice published by the Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recall covers select “State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” products from Texas-based Hillshire Brands, which is a subsidiary of Tyson Foods.

    The contamination problem was discovered after Hillshire received multiple consumer complaints, the service notes, five of which involved injuries. The company later determined that a “limited number” of these products included “extraneous pieces of wooden stick within the batter,” Tyson said in a corresponding announcement – adding that it opted to initiate a recall “out of an abundance of caution.”

    The recalled corn dogs and sausage-on-a-stick goods were produced between March 17 and as recently Friday, per Saturday’s recall notices. Tyson, which is headquartered in Arkansas, says the issue was isolated to one facility located in Haltom City, Texas.

    FSIS is worried that some of these recalled products may be in consumers’ refrigerators and freezers in households across the U.S. – as well as some schools and other institutions. In addition to being sold online and to retailers nationwide, the agency noted Saturday, these products were also sold to school districts and Defense Department facilities.

    Consumers in possession of the now recalled “State Fair Corn Dogs on a Stick” and “Jimmy Dean Pancakes & Sausage on a Stick” are urged to throw them away or return them to their place of purchase.

    To determine which corn dogs and other sausage goods are subject to this recall, consumers should check the product’s name, use by dates and other identifying information published online by the FSIS and Tyson. The products being recalled should also have an establishment number of “EST-582” or “P-894” printed on the packaging.

    It’s unclear if consumers who purchased these now-recalled products will be eligible for a refund. The FSIS says consumers with questions about the recall can contact Christina Self, The Hillshire Brands Company Associate Director of Customer Care, at 888-747-7611.

    Foreign object contamination is one of the top reasons for food recalls in the U.S. Beyond plastic, metal fragments, bits of bugs and more “extraneous” materials have prompted recalls by making their way into packaged goods.

  • BMW recalling more than 196,000 cars in U.S. over potential fire risk

    [ad_1]

    Almost 200,000 BMWs, along with some Toyota Supras, are being recalled in the U.S. by the German automaker due to the potential for a short circuit in their starters that could increase the risk of a fire, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday.

    A total of 196,355 vehicles in the U.S. will be subject to the recall, the vast majority of them BMWs made between 2019 and 2022, in which NHTSA said “the engine starter relay may corrode, causing the relay to overheat and short circuit,” increasing the risk of a fire.

    NHTSA said in its notice that BMW of North America was recalling certain 2019-2021 BMW 330i, 2019-2022 BMW Z4, 2020-2022 BMW 530i, X3, X4, Toyota Supra, 2021-2022 BMW 430i, 430i Convertible, and 2022 BMW 230i vehicles, and that letters would go out to owners from November 14 to inform them of the issue.

    From that day, vehicle owners will also be able to search online at NHTSA.gov/recalls, ­­entering either their unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or the year, make and model of their vehicle to confirm whether it is subject to the recall.

    “Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until the remedy is complete” NHTSA said in its notice of the recall on Friday. “Dealers will replace the engine starter, free of charge.”

    The agency, part of the Department of Transportation, said owners could also contact BMW’s U.S. customer service line directly at 1-800-525-7417 with questions.

    The recall notice comes just over a year after BMW announced a recall of more than 720,700 vehicles in North America because they were equipped with an electric water pump that could short circuit as a result of faulty installation, posing a fire hazard.

  • Paris Hilton mini fridges recalled due to fire and burn risk

    [ad_1]

    More than 100,000 Paris Hilton mini fridges have been recalled over fire and burn hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced last week.

    The recall involved the “Paris Hilton Mini Beauty Fridge” in a 4-liter model in pink, white, aqua and hot pink, as well as a 10-liter model in pink and white. Consumers should check the model number in the back or the bottom of the mini fridges, which are marketed for refrigerating beauty products like skin care, to see if they’ve been recalled, CPSC said.

    No injuries have been reported but there have been at least 27 reports of the mini fridges overheating and catching on fire, the recall announcement said. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the Paris Hilton mini fridges, unplug it and register for the recall at www.epoca.com/minifridgerecall.

    Only mini fridges that were manufactured before August 2024 are affected. These are their model and serial numbers of the recalled units. 

    Model numbers: PH11887, PH11887-1, PZB02-E001, PH12540, PZP01-E001 and PZW01-E001.

    Serial number beginning with: 2024, 202206 – 202406 and 202206 – 20240704020.

    The products were sold online from November 2022 through July 2025. They were sold on various websites, including Walmart.com and Amazon.com, as well as in stores at Walmart and Ross, CPSC said.

    To receive a refund, consumers will have to fill out the online form and submit three photographs to the importer, Epoca International LLC. 

    The company said “RECALL” should be written on the fridge’s door with a permanent marker. Another photo should show the label on the unit showing the model number and serial number. The last photograph should show that the consumer has cut and unplugged the cord.

    A salmonella outbreak linked to eggs has sickened nearly 100 people in 14 states, including four cases in Minnesota, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Country Eggs, LLC, issued a recall on Wednesday for cartons labeled “Large Brown Cage Free ‘Sunshine Yolks,’” or “Omega-3 Golden Yolks.”

    The eggs were packed in individual retail cartons under the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho and Nijiya Markets.

    Eighteen people have been hospitalized, the CDC said, but there have been no reported deaths connected to the outbreak, with most cases reported in California.

    The CDC urges consumers not to eat the recalled eggs, and wash all surfaces the eggs may have touched.

  • Blue Bell ice cream containing nuts recalled over allergy risk posed by mislabeling

    [ad_1]

    Blue Bell ice cream, sold at Walmart, Kroger and other retailers, is voluntarily recalling some of its products because it was mislabeled, posing an allergy risk to consumers. 

    The company is recalling half-gallon cartons of its Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream, which was packaged in cartons misidentifying the flavor as Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. 

    Moo-llennium contains almonds, walnuts and pecans, which are undeclared on the label because of the packaging error. As a result, people with allergies to such contents could suffer a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the ice cream, the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday.

    A Blue Bell employee identified the mistake when they were restocking a retailer, the FDA said. No illnesses or adverse reactions related to the error have been reported to-date, according to the FDA. 

    A limited quantity of ice cream containing nuts was mislabeled, and is being recalled.  

    Food and Drug Administration


    The recalled ice cream cartons have code 061027524 on their lids. 

    The affected ice cream half-gallons were distributed to stores across Alabama, Arkansas, Florida Panhandle, Northwest Georgia, Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Southwest Virginia, according to the FDA. 

    Consumers who purchased the ice cream cartons may return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

    Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC is recalling about 32,000 pounds of various meat products with a false USDA mark of inspection, meaning the meats didn’t go through proper federal examination, according to federal officials.

    In an alert shared Thursday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said the recalled products are falsely labeled with establishment number “EST. 1785,” which “does not exist,” they said.

    The items, which include chorizo (sausage), pork chops and ribs, were shipped to retail locations and restaurants nationwide and were produced with various dates before Aug. 20, 2025.

    The recall includes the following: 

    • Homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Suelto Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
    • Smoked pork chops labeled “OLANCHO Chuleta Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
    • Smoked chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Ahumado Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
    • Cased homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Olanchano Criollo SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
    • Smoked BBQ spicy chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Parrillero SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
    • Smoked ribs labeled “OLANCHO Costilla Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)

    As more information becomes available, FSIS said it may add more items to the recalled product list, so consumers should keep an eye on the website for updates. 

    So far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to these products, but the USDA says they should be considered “misbranded and unsafe to eat.” Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider, the agency added.

    Consumers can contact Diego Funez Garrido, owner of Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC at 908-274-4206 for any questions regarding the recall, the alert added.

  • Toothpaste recalled nationwide as FDA issues risk warning

    [ad_1]

    A nationwide recall of more than 40,000 units of toothpaste has received the lowest risk level by the Food and Drug Administration.

    A recall for Sensodyne Pronamel Active Shield Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth began on August 5 over concerns that “Fresh Mint” tubes were mislabeled “Cool Mint/Whitening.” The outer carton was labeled accurately.

    FDA inspectors classified the recall as a Class III, the lowest of three risk levels, on Tuesday, indicating the mix-up was “not likely to cause adverse health consequences.”

    Newsweek contacted Haleon, which makes Sensodyne, via email on Tuesday.

    Why It Matters

    The FDA assigned this recall a Class III designation, which applies to situations where the use of or exposure to the recalled product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences. While the FDA determined the risk to be minimal, the corrective move underscores the regulatory attention to food contact safety and manufacturing consistency.

    What To Know

    The FDA recall entry listed the product as Sensodyne Pronamel (potassium nitrate 5 percent, sodium fluoride 0.25 percent) Active Shield Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth, Fresh Mint, Net WT 3.4 ounces (96.4 grams).

    The product came in cases containing six tubes, and the recall affected 46,692 tubes, the FDA alert said.

    It added that the products were recalled by New York-based Haleon U.S. Holdings after having been distributed nationwide by GSK Consumer Healthcare.

    The FDA’s new classification record listed the recall reason as “labeling.”

    “Label Mix-up: The outer carton is labeled Fresh Mint. The tube is labeled Cool Mint/Whitening. The toothpaste inside the tube is Fresh Mint as indicated on the outer carton,” the alert said.

    The recall entry included lot and expiration information. The case lot number is 5058RB, and the carton and tube lot number is NJ2A. Both had an expiry date of August 31, 2027.

    FDA inspectors carry out a hazard assessment before issuing one of three risk levels. The three classifications are these:

    • Class I—a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.
    • Class II—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
    • Class III—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences.

    What People Are Saying

    The Food and Drug Administration said on its website: “Product problems should be reported to the FDA when there is a concern about the quality, authenticity, performance, or safety of any medication or device. Problems with product quality may occur during manufacturing, shipping, or storage. They include … labeling concerns.”

    What Happens Next

    The FDA lists the recall as ongoing. The alert did not provide consumer return or disposal instructions.

  • Ford recalls more than 1 million vehicles over rearview camera glitch

    [ad_1]


    Ford Motor is recalling nearly 1.1 million Ford and Lincoln vehicles because of a software problem that could cause the rearview camera image to malfunction when the car is in reverse, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. 

    “A frozen rear-view camera display image while in reverse can create a false representation of where the vehicle is relative to its surroundings, increasing the risk of a crash,” the NHTSA stated in a May 9 report.

    Ford is not aware of any injuries related to the software error. The automaker has received one report of a minor crash resulting in property damage. 

    The recall affects 1,075,299 vehicles, including the following Ford and Lincoln models:

    Ford:

    • 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, 2021-2024 Edge
    • 2022-2024 Expedition 
    • 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E 
    • 2023-2024 Escape, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600 
    • 2024 Ranger, Mustang

    Lincoln: 

    • 2021-2023 Nautilus
    • 2022-2024 Navigator
    • 2023-2024 Corsair 

    To fix the problem, a vehicle’s so-called accessory protocol interface module software will eventually be available to be updated for free either in person at a Ford/Lincoln dealership, or remotely through an over-the-air update, according to Ford.

    Notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners of affected vehicles on June 16 to alert them of the rearview camera problem. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available sometime between July and September, recall documents state. 

    Affected vehicle owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332; Ford’s number for this recall is 25S49.

    Owners can also contact NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to nhtsa.gov. NHTSA’s number for the recall is 25V-315.

    The camera issue is the latest of several recalls this year by the Detroit automaker. Most recently, Ford recalled roughly 274,000 Lincoln Navigator and Ford Expedition vehicles because of a poorly installed front brake line that could lead to reduced brake function, NHTSA said in another recall dated May 9.

    In November 2024, NHTSA fined Ford $165 million for moving too slowly to recall vehicles with faulty rearview cameras and for failing to give the agency complete information as required by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

    Tumblers sold at Wawa stores recalled after their metal straws cut customers

    [ad_1]

    About 60,000 tumblers sold at Wawa stores in eight states and the District of Columbia are being recalled after its manufacturer received four reports of laceration injuries, according to a notice published Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

    The tumblers’ metal straws pose a risk of cutting consumers’ hands and mouths, the notice said. 

    The recall involves 24-ounce reusable plastic tumblers with Wawa imprinted on them and sold during the month of August for about $13 each, said Halo Branded Solutions of Sterling, Illinois, which imported the made-in-China tumblers.  

    The tumblers were sold in four styles: “The Mermaid,” which is pink and green, “Island Surf,” which is blue and yellow, “Sailor Breeze,” which is tan and orange, and “The Galaxy,” which is blue and pink. All have a tan lid.

    People who purchased the tumblers should stop using the metal straw and contact Halo for instructions on how to receive a replacement silicone straw after returning the metal one. 

    Consumers also have the option of returning the tumbler and metal straw to get a refund in the form of a $15 gift card. Consumers should not return the recalled items to Wawa stores, the company added.

    Halo can be reached at 855-425-6266 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, by email at halo.safety@halo.com, or online at at https://halo.com/safety-recall-24oz-mug/ or http://www.halo.com.
