Consumers who may have purchased the affected products are advised not to feed them to their child and can return them for a refund at the point of purchase. One emergency room visit has been reported due to choking incidents.
The recall was initiated after receiving consumer complaints and is being coordinated with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Gerber apologizes for any concern or inconvenience this action may cause to parents, caregivers, and retail customers.
