Plum Organics is recalling a limited quantity of two varieties of its World Baby pouch products because of “intermittent damage” to the plastic spouts during manufacturing. That could cause small fragments to loosen, detach, and present a choking hazard. Plum Organics has received 14 consumer complaints about damaged spouts, but no injuries have been reported to date.
The recalled products include World Baby Italy – Zucchini & Spinach with Pasta Marinara. The product has a “Best By” date of 09Sep14 (September 9, 2014). Also recalled is World Baby Thailand – Roasted Pumpkin & Coconut Rice with “Best By” date of 10Sep14 (September 10, 2014). About 12,000 cases of the products were shipped nationwide to grocery, mass and online retailers in the U.S. No other Plum products are affected by this recall.
If you purchased this product, do not feed it to your baby. The damage should be visible as a depression in the rim, possibly with a fragment of plastic attached to the damaged area. Discard it or return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
