Anyone with a milk allergy who consumes this product may have a serious or life-threatening reaction. The recall was voluntarily initiated on January 25, 2012 after a complaint from a consumer with a milk allergy; that person had eaten a Peanut Butter Buckeye.

The company has corrected the label, but “out of an abundance of caution”, they are recalling the product and advising consumers that the candies do contain milk. Distributors and retailers have been given new labels to replace the existing labels.
