What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (choking hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Plum Inc. is voluntarily recalling two varieties of Stage 2 World Baby food, specifically Zucchini & Spinach with Pasta Marinara in 3.5 oz. pouches. The recall involves 11,595 cases total, with each case containing 12 pouches. The affected products are identified by a Best Before date of 09SEP14.

The recall is being issued because intermittent damage to the plastic spouts during manufacturing may cause plastic fragments to break loose. These fragments present a potential choking hazard to consumers. The products were distributed in the United States, with small quantities exported to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.

Consumers should stop using the affected products and check their Best Before dates. If the date is 09SEP14, the product should be discarded or returned to the place of purchase.
