Green Mountain Coffee Recalls Tully's House Blend K-Cup Packs

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is recalling Tully's House Blend K-Cup packs because regular caffeinated units were packaged in decaffeinated retail boxes.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class III, which indicates a remote possibility of adverse health consequences. The hazard is a packaging error involving caffeine content, which is a minor labeling/packaging issue rather than a safety hazard like contamination or choking.
