I don't usually post about recalls, but I know I have lots of Moms that follow - so I thought I'd share this.
The recall includes powder products in plastic containers, 8oz cans, 12.4oz cans, and 12.9oz cans.
From the Similac website:
Abbott is recalling these products following an internal quality review, which detected the remote possibility of the presence of a small common beetle in the product produced in one production area in a single manufacturing facility. The United States Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA) has determined that while the formula containing these beetles poses no immediate health risk, there is a possibility that infants who consume formula containing the beetles or their larvae, could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort and refusal to eat as a result of small insect parts irritating the GI tract. If these symptoms persist for more than a few days, a physician should be consulted.
You can get more info right here (obviously the site is being overloaded right now so it may take you a few tries to get through).
Thanks, Kim!
