Why these products were recalled

In a small percentage of the cans, when opened, the oval covering for the hole, which normally is pushed down into the can, instead opens upward. This produces a loud "pop" sound. Recall initiated on 4/29/16.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
