Two high-profile food recalls are at the top of the list of recent Walmart recalls.
Ready-to-eat celery sticks and Frito Lay Tortilla Chips were recalled due to possible contamination or allergy issues. Other recalls cover baby swings and portable chargers.
Here is a look at recent Walmart recalls:
Ready-to-eat celery sticks
Duda Farms has recalled a single lot of washed and ready-to-eat Marketside Celery Sticks. The packages have a best if used by date of March 23, but the warning from the Food and Drug Administration said they could be in people’s freezers.
The recall was made due to possible listeria contamination after a sample at a Georgia Walmart location tested positive. Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people or others were weakened immune systems.
Frito Lay tortilla chips
A limited number of 13 oz. bags of Tostitos Cantina Traditional Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips were recalled due to the possibility of an undeclared milk. People with an allergy or severe milk sensitivity could run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction.
The chips were distributed in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
IxDregan Infant Swings
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is urging people to stop using IxDregan Infant Swings due to a risk of suffocation. The swings, sold at Walmart, have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, posing a suffocation hazard. Also, some models of the swings contain button cell or coin batteries which can post a choking hazard.
People are advised to stop using the swings immediately.
Casely Wireless Portable Power Banks sold at Walmart can pose a fire hazard, the CPSC warned. The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. About 429,000 units are included in the recall.
