Roots & Harvest Wide Mouth Pint Canning Jars Recalled for Laceration Hazard

LEM Products Distribution is recalling about 15,900 Roots & Harvest Wide Mouth Pint Canning Jars because pieces of glass may be found inside, posing a laceration hazard. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: No illnesses or injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a potential risk from glass fragments in some jars. The source explicitly states no injuries, making this a theoretical risk rather than a confirmed harm event, which per the rubric places it at Moderate (score 2).
