Sour Candy Bottles Pose Deadly Choking Risk
14 Sep
Summary
- Millions of sour candy bottles recalled due to choking hazard.
- Detachable rolling balls pose serious injury or death risk.
- Company offers full refunds for recalled candy bottles.
A widespread recall has been issued for over two million sour candy bottles sold across America since January 2023. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall due to a critical choking hazard posed by the product's design. Specifically, the rolling ball mechanism on the bottles can detach, presenting a risk of serious injury or death.
The affected sour candy bottles, available in various fruit flavors, were sold individually and in multipacks. Consumers can identify the recalled products by their rollerball top designed for applying the liquid candy. The Ricky Joy Company, responsible for the product, has stated they will provide a full refund to customers upon request.
Officials strongly advise customers to immediately dispose of the recalled candy bottles. They emphasize that these items should be kept out of reach of children due to the severe choking hazard. No injuries have been reported to date related to this product.
