A seafood company is expanding a recall after discovering that products previously pulled from shelves were mistakenly shipped to stores.

Tri-Union Seafoods said a third-party distributor inadvertently released quarantined canned tuna tied to a voluntary recall announced in February 2025. The company said the products were originally recalled because the can's seal could be compromised. There's concern that the food could be contaminated with a bacterium that can cause botulism, a rare but potentially fatal form of food poisoning.

The affected products include Genova yellowfin tuna in olive oil (5-ounce, four-pack) and Genova yellowfin tuna in extra-virgin olive oil with sea salt (5 ounces).

They were distributed to grocery stores in several states, including Meijer in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. Giant Foods in Maryland and Virginia also received the product, as did Safeway, Albertsons, Vons and Pavilions stores in California.

Consumers can identify the recalled cans by their best if used by dates: Jan. 17, 2028; Jan. 21, 2028; and Jan. 24, 2028.

Federal officials have not said if there have been any illnesses linked to the recalled tuna, but consumers are urged to dispose of the items even if they do not look or smell spoiled.

Viva Raw is voluntarily recalling some of its dog and cat food products due to contamination with salmonella and listeria.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall affects lot 21495, which includes Viva Ground Beef for Dogs and Viva Beef & Turkey for Puppies, and lot 21975, which includes Viva Ground Chicken for Dogs, Viva Chunked Chicken for Dogs, Viva Chicken for Cats and Viva Pure Chicken.

The food is frozen in one-pound bricks in clear vacuum packaging with the lot number printed on the top of the packaging.

The products were distributed between July 2 and Aug. 21 directly to consumers nationwide from the North Carolina-based company, as well as a small number of select retailers in New York, Illinois, South Carolina, Florida, Kansas, California and Arizona.

Officials said the potential contamination was discovered in routine testing conducted by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture.

Salmonella and listeria can affect animals eating the products and also pose risks to humans handling the contaminated pet products. No illnesses in dogs, cats or humans related to these lots have been reported to date, the FDA said.

The FDA said pet owners should thoroughly wash their hands after having contact with the products and clean any surfaces exposed to these products.

Symptoms of salmonella or listeria include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Pregnant women are especially susceptible to listeria infection, which can result in miscarriage, the CDC said. The young, the elderly and people with weak immune systems are more vulnerable to infection.

The FDA said pets with salmonella or listeria infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever and vomiting while some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain.

Infected but otherwise healthy pets can be carriers and infect other animals or humans, the FDA said.

Consumers with any of these symptoms after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, contact your veterinarian.

Nissan is recalling more than 480,000 of its vehicles across the U.S. and Canada due to potential manufacturing defects that could cause engine failure.

The recall covers certain Nissan Rogues between 2021-2024 model years and 2019-2020 Altimas as well as a number of 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50s and 2022 Infiniti QX55s sold under the automaker's luxury brand, according to Nissan and documents published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this week.

The vehicles impacted carry specific "VC-Turbo" engines that may have manufacturing defects in their bearings, the NHTSA's recall report notes. This may cause engine damage and possibly lead to engine failure while driving, the regulator warns increasing crash risks.

RELATED STORY | Ford recalls more than 200,000 vehicles over malfunctioning rearview camera

Engine bearing failures "are not typically instantaneous and tend to progress over time," the NHTSA's recall report notes. That means effected drivers may see multiple warning signs to look out for including abnormal noises or malfunction indicator lights.

In the U.S., 443,899 vehicles are covered in this recall, per NHTSA documents. And in Canada, 37,837 are affected, a Nissan spokesperson confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday.

As a remedy, the NHSTA's recall report notes, Nissan and Infiniti dealers will inspect the engine pan of these-now recalled cars and repair or replace the engine if necessary. The recall covers vehicles with either 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L VC-Turbo engines. Potential repairs which will be performed free of charge will depend on the engine and whether or not debris is detected during the inspection.

In an emailed statement, Nissan said it initiated this recall as part of its "ongoing commitment to customer safety." And in late August, the company added, notification letters will be mailed out to affected owners "with instructions to bring their vehicle to a Nissan dealer or INFINITI retailer for inspection and repair if necessary."

In the meantime, drivers can also confirm if their specific vehicle is included in this recall and find more information using the NHTSA site or Nissan's recall lookup.

More than 140,000 pounds of ready-to-eat bologna have been recalled because the products were mislabeled, according to the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service.

The bologna, made by Gaisers European Style Provisions Inc., contains meat or poultry ingredients that are not declared on the packaging.

The recall includes products sold under various brand names, including:

The USDA said the products were shipped to both retail and wholesale outlets across the country.

Although no illnesses have been reported, officials advise consumers not to eat the recalled bologna. The products may still be in refrigerators or freezers, and should be thrown away or returned to the store.

NEW YORK (AP) Ford is recalling nearly 274,000 of its Expedition and Lincoln-branded Navigator SUVs across the U.S. due to an issue that may cause a loss of brake function while driving, increasing crash risks.

According to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the front brake lines in these now-recalled cars may be in contact with their engine air cleaner outlet pipe due to a potential installation defect. That can result in a brake fluid leak and/or a loss of brake function.

The recall covers 223,315 Expeditions and 50,474 Navigators between model years 2022 and 2024. Ford expects that just 1% of these vehicles have the defect, per a recall report dated Friday.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this recall but the Michigan-based auto giant had received 45 warranty reports of front brake line leaks as of April 17, NHSTA documents note.

As a remedy, Ford and Lincoln dealers will inspect the front brake line of impacted vehicles and replace it or the air cleaner outlet pipe if necessary, free of charge. Dealer notifications were planned to begin Wednesday, the recall report notes, with owner letters set to be mailed out between May 26 and May 30.

In the meantime, drivers can also confirm if their specific vehicle is included in this recall and find more information using the NHTSA site or Ford's recall lookup. The company's number for this recall is 25S47.

Impacted drivers may experience an increase in pedal travel, NHSTA documents warn, meaning the pedal would need to be pressed harder to apply the brakes. And if there's a leaking brake line, the fluid level will decrease over time potentially causing the red brake warning indicator to light up.

A spokesperson for Ford had no additional comments when reached by The Associated Press on Wednesday.

Approximately 170,000 bottles of Martinelli's apple juice have been recalled due to potential patulin contamination.

Patulin is a toxic substance produced by mold, commonly found in rotting apples and apple products. Health officials warn that consuming drinks contaminated with high levels of patulin can cause vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps and ulcers.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the initial voluntary recall was issued on March 18. However, it was upgraded to a Class II recall on April 22.

The FDA defines a Class II recall as a "situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote."

Martinelli's said the recalled apple juice was sold in more than 20 states:

The recalled bottles have a UPC of 0 41244 04102 2 and a best by date of December 5, 2026.

A company that makes baby food sold under a Target store brand is recalling more than 25,000 packages of a product because it may contain elevated levels of lead.

Miami-based Fruselva issued the recall in March for Target's Good & Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree, sold in 4-ounce tubs, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The packages include lot number 4167, with a best-by date of Dec. 7, and lot number 4169, with a best-by date of Dec. 9.

Consumers should not feed babies the products.

The recall is listed as Class II, which means the products are unlikely to cause serious harm, but still have the potential to result in temporary or reversible problems.

There is no safe level of exposure to lead for children, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Exposure to the heavy metal can cause developmental and cognitive problems.

Ascent Consumer Products Inc. is recalling one lot of the SinuCleanse Soft Tip Squeeze Bottle Nasal Wash System due to microbial contamination with Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), the Food and Drug Administration announced on Wednesday.

This contamination poses serious health risks, particularly blood infections, for users with compromised nasal mucosa. Infections could lead to severe conditions such as endocarditis, bone and joint infections, and meningitis, though no adverse events have been reported so far.

The affected product lot has the number 024122661A1 and an expiration date of December 31, 2027, and was distributed nationwide in January 2025. Ascent is notifying distributors and customers to cease distribution of the product, which includes a squeeze bottle and 30 saline packets. Consumers are advised to stop using it immediately and return it to the place of purchase or dispose of it, the FDA said.

Several different brands of canned tuna sold at major U.S. grocers have been recalled over concerns that they may have been contaminated with a bacteria that causes botulism, a potentially fatal type of food poisoning that attacks the body's nervous system.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tri-Union Seafoods issued the recall on lots of canned tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp's, H-E-B and Trader Joe's brand names.

RELATED STORY | Broccoli recalled from Walmart stores could lead to serious illness or death

The canned tuna was also sold at Harris Teeter, Publix, Safeway, Walmart, Costco, Kroger and independent retailers in several states. The impacted products have "best if used by" dates in 2027 and 2028.

Tri-Union Seafoods said the issue was over a manufacturing defect with the "easy open" pull tab on some cans, which could cause the product seal to leak or become contaminated.

The company urged consumers who have a recalled tuna can to return it to the retailer for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Tri-Union Seafoods directly to receive a coupon for a replacement can.

To date, no illnesses related to the recalled tuna have been reported. Tri-Union Seafoods also said none of its other product packaging has been impacted by the potential defect.

A popular brand of eye drops is now being recalled nationwide due to a possible fungal contamination. Alcon Laboratories in Texas is voluntarily recalling Systane Lubricant Eye Drops Ultra P-F, the Food and Drug Administration announced.

The FDA said the recall was initiated after Alcon evaluated a consumer complaint of foreign material observed inside a sealed single-use vial and determined the material to be fungal in nature. There have been no reported injuries associated with recalled eye drops.

Fungal contamination in eye drops can cause eye infections, which can threaten vision. If you have these eye drops, stop using them and return them for a full refund.

"Fungal contamination of an ophthalmic product is known to potentially cause eye infections. If an infection occurs, it may be vision-threatening, and in very rare cases potentially life-threatening in immunocompromised patients. To date, Alcon Laboratories has not received any reports of adverse events related to this recall," the FDA said.

The eye drops are intended for temporary relief of burning and irritation for people experiencing dry eye symptoms.

Affected products are packaged in a cardboard carton containing 25 sterile, single-use LDPE plastic vials of preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use (NDC 0065-1432-06, UPC 300651432060).

The FDA said packages can be identified by the green and pink carton design, presence of Systane and ULTRA PF brand names on the front of the carton, and the 25 vials package size.

A batch of Northwest Naturals pet food is being recalled after testing positive for bird flu, the company announced.

The recall is for 2-pound bags of Turkey Recipe raw frozen pet food.

The product was sold in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington.

The recalled batches have "best if used by" dates of 05/21/26 and 06/23/2026.

Oregon health officials said a house cat died after consuming the now-recalled Northwest Naturals pet food.

RELATED STORY | FDA escalates Costco egg recall to highest possible alert level

We are confident that this cat contracted H5N1 by eating the Northwest Naturals raw and frozen pet food, said Oregon Department of Agriculture State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz. This cat was strictly an indoor cat; it was not exposed to the virus in its environment, and results from the genome sequencing confirmed that the virus recovered from the raw pet food and infected cat were exact matches to each other.

Due to bird flu concerns, health officials advise against giving pets raw or undercooked meat products. Pet owners are also cautioned against giving raw milk to animals due to potential bird flu contamination.

Anyone who has recalled pet food is asked to safely discard it and contact the retailer where it was purchased for a refund.

Nuna Baby Essentials has recalled more than 600,000 child car seats because of issues with a plastic harness adjuster button.

The recall involves RAVA models manufactured between 2016 and 2023.

"The defect is a result of debris entering the area where the front harness adjuster is located," the company said in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "The debris may cause the teeth of the adjuster mechanism to no longer properly clamp onto the adjuster strap, resulting in the harness no longer remaining tight."

The NHTSA warns that a child may not remain properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Stellantis is recalling more than 300,000 Ram Heavy Duty pickup trucks because a faulty part could cause certain braking and tracking systems to fail.

The Netherlands-based automaker said the hydraulic control unit on the trucks is prone to failure, which can cause the anti-lock brake, electronic stability control and traction control systems to not work properly. Stellantis said regular braking systems are not affected by the defective part and that it's unaware of any related injuries.

The trucks in question are all model years 2017-18 and include the Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500. The recall includes a total of 317,630 trucks, including a small number of them in Canada, Mexico and elsewhere.

Stellantis said it will advise customers who may be affected as to when they may obtain service, which will be free of charge.

Customers with additional questions or concerns may call 1-800-853-1403.

Last month, Stellantis announced a recall of about 207,000 Jeep and Dodge SUVs in the U.S. to fix a computer problem that can disable the anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control safety features. In September, Stellantis recalled nearly 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks worldwide to fix a software problem that can disable the electronic stability control system.

Last week Stellantis announced that CEO Carlos Tavares was stepping down after nearly four years in the top spot of the carmaker.

In addition to the recalls, Stellantis has been struggling with falling sales that have led to layoffs and contributed to ballooning inventory on dealer lots. Last quarter, Stellantis reported that net revenues plunged 27% from the same period a year ago.

Stellantis, the worlds fourth-largest automaker, was created by the 2021 merger of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

DETROIT (AP) General Motors is adding over 132,000 heavy-duty pickups in the U.S. to a previous recall for tailgate release switches that can short circuit and open the gates while the trucks are in park.

The recall adds certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks to a February recall of 323,000 heavy duty pickups. Only trucks with a manual gate and power lock and release are affected.

The company says in documents posted Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that water can get into the electronic gate release switches, causing the gates to unlatch. If that happens, cargo can fall into the road and become a hazard.

The trucks in the new recall were added after the company found 237 field reports of tailgates opening unexpectedly. Until repairs are made, GM says owners should check to make sure the gate is closed and latched before driving.

Dealers will replace the exterior touch pad switch assemblies with new ones that are more resistant to water.

Owners will be notified by letter starting on Jan. 13.

DETROIT (AP) Hyundai and Kia are recalling over 208,000 electric vehicles to fix a pesky problem that can cause loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recalls cover more than 145,000 Hyundai and Genesis vehicles including the 2022 through 2024 Ioniq 5, the 2023 through 2025 Ioniq 6, GV60 and GV70, and the 2023 and 2024 G80.

Also included are nearly 63,000 Kia EV 6 vehicles from 2022 through 2024.

The affiliated Korean automakers say in government documents that a transistor in a charging control unit can be damaged and stop charging the 12-volt battery.

Dealers will inspect and replace the control unit and a fuse if needed. They also will update software. Owners whose vehicles were recalled earlier this year to fix the same problem will have to visit their dealer again.

Owners will be notified by letter in December and January.

DETROIT (AP) General Motors is recalling nearly 462,000 pickup trucks and big SUVs with diesel engines because the rear wheels can lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall in the U.S. covers certain Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups from the 2020 through 2022 model years. Also included are the 2021 Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban.

Documents posted Wednesday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website say a transmission control valve can wear out over time. In rare cases it can fail and lock up the rear wheels. Drivers may notice harsh shifting before any wheel problems.

GM says in documents that dealers will install new transmission control software that will monitor the valve and detect excess wear 10,000 miles before the wheels lock up. If wear is detected, the transmission will be limited to fifth gear, preventing wheel lockup, which happens when the transmission downshifts from eighth gear.

GM will provide warranty coverage to fix transmissions that have a defective control valve.

Owners will be notified of the recall by letter on Dec. 9.

Documents say GM discussed an owner complaint about the problem with U.S. safety regulators in January and GM began an investigation in July. In September, a GM investigator found 1,888 reports of wheel lock up possibly related to the condition. The company also found 11 potentially related incidents including vehicles veering off the road, in some cases causing minor property damage. Three minor injuries were reported, although GM said they were not associated with a crash.

General Motors is recalling more than 449,000 of its SUVs and pickup trucks because the electronic brake control module software may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid takes place.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that the recall includes certain 2023-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESVs, 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models.

The agency said that without the warning light, a vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

A free software update will be provided to vehicle owners.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Oct. 28. Vehicle owners can contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.

NEW YORK (AP) Nearly 138,000 platform beds sold at major retailers including Amazon and Walmart are being recalled across the U.S. and Canada because they can collapse, posing fall and injury risks.

Utah-based importer CVB Inc. is recalling the Lucid-branded platform beds with upholstered square tufted headboards. According to Thursday notices from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, the beds can sag, break or collapse during use.

To date, there have been 245 incidents of this occurring in the U.S., resulting in 18 related injuries such as contusions and bruises, the CPSC said. An additional 11 reports of bed failures have been reported in Canada, with no further injuries.

According to Lucid, the recall covers a discontinued version of its platform beds, which the company says were manufactured between 2019 and 2021.

While manufacturing ended several years ago, the now-recalled beds continued to be sold at major retailers through April 2024, the CPSC said. In addition to Amazon, Walmart and Lucid's website, consumers may have also purchased the beds at Bed Bath & Beyond, eBay, Home Depot, Macys, Target.com, Wayfair and other retailers.

About 137,000 of the recalled beds were sold in the U.S. and 890 in Canada, the CPSC said.

The beds which were made in Malaysia and come in twin, full, queen, king and cal-king sizes can be identified with a white law label found on the back of the headboard. Made For: CVB INC, 1525 W 2960 S, LOGAN, UT 84321 should be printed on it.

People who have the recalled beds are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Lucid for a free replacement frame.

Consumers will have to write the word recalled on the bed's support rails with a permanent marker and send photos to Lucid. More information about getting a replacement can be found on Lucid's recall page.

DETROIT (AP) Stellantis is recalling nearly 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks worldwide to fix a software problem that can disable the electronic stability control system.

The recall covers certain trucks from the 2019 and 2021 through 2024 model years, mostly in North America.

Stellantis said in a statement Saturday that the trucks may have anti-lock brake software that could inadvertently shut down the stability control, which manages the throttle and brakes to avoid skidding.

If that happens, the company said the brakes would still work. Stellantis said it's not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem.

U.S. safety standards require electronic stability control to work during nearly all phases of driving, the company says.

Dealers will update software to fix the problem at no cost to owners, who will be notified by letters starting Oct. 3.

BMW is recalling 720,796 vehicles in North America that have a faulty electrical water pump and may be more susceptible to catching fire.

According to documents posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the water pumps in the affected vehicles were manufactured with "insufficient sealing" at the electrical plug connector, which could make it "susceptible to fluid ingress" over time.

If the connector is exposed to water, possibly due to the ventilation system dripping, there is a higher chance of a short circuit, which could increase the risk of a "thermal event" or fire in rare cases, the NHTSA report said.

As of August, BMW said it's received 18 complaints from customers related to the faulty pump, but there have been no injuries related to the issue.

Owners of the recalled vehicles are expected to be notified by mail starting Oct. 4. They can contact BMW customer service to bring the vehicles to a dealer, which will inspect and replace the water pump and connector as necessary and install a protective shield to divert fluid from the ventilation system for free.

The recalled vehicles include various models made from 2012 to 2018, including the X1, X3, X4, X5, Z4, 228I, 528I, 428XI and more. To see the full list of affected vehicles, check here.

Before this notice, BMW had already issued recalls for 684,000 vehicles since July. Some were related to faulty bolts that could cause the interior cargo rail to be damaged and detach, and the others were due to Takata air bag inflators that have a risk of exploding during a crash. The air bags have killed at least 27 people and injured 400 others in the U.S.

NEW YORK (AP) Samsung is recalling more than 1.12 million electric ranges used for stovetops after reports of 250 fires and dozens of injuries.

According to a Thursday notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, these slide-in ranges have front-mounted knobs that can be activated by accident if humans or pets unintentionally contact or bump into them. That poses a fire hazard.

To date, Samsung has received more than 300 reports of the knobs activating unintentionally since 2013, the CPSC noted, and the now-recalled ranges have been involved in about 250 fires. At least 18 of those fires caused extensive property damage and seven involved pet deaths, according to the Commission.

In addition, the CPSC added, about 40 injuries have been reported, including eight that required medical attention.

Consumers can identify whether their slide-in electric range is included in this recall by looking at the model number printed on the product. Both Samsung and the CPSC have published a list of affected models online.

The recalled ranges were sold between May 2013 and August 2024 online at Samsung.com as well as in retailers nationwide including Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot and Lowe's.

Consumers in possession of a recalled range are urged to contact New Jersey-based Samsung Electronics America for a free set of knob locks or covers compatible for installation with their model. In the meantime, those impacted should take extra caution to keep children and pets away from the knobs, and check their range before leaving the house or going to bed to make sure it's off, the CPSC said.

As part of general stovetop and oven safety, the Commission added that consumers should never place, leave, or store anything on the top of your range when not in use as such items can ignite if it's accidentally activated.

Tesla is recalling more than 1.8 million vehicles because of a hood issue that could increase the risk of a crash.

Billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla is recalling some 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles because the hood latch assembly may fail to detect an unlatched hood after it has been opened.

The unlatched hood can fully open when the vehicle is in motion, potentially obstructing the driver's view and increasing the likelihood of a crash. The company is unaware of any crashes, injuries or deaths related to the issue.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Tesla began investigating customer complaints about the issue on Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in China on March 25. By mid-April, the automaker had identified the condition impacting vehicles in China as a latch switch deformation.

Tesla has continued to look at the issue and found that the rates of occurrence were higher in China than in Europe and North America, but the reason for that disparity is unknown.

Tesla said that as of July 20 it has identified three warranty claims or field reports for U.S. vehicles that are related to or may be related to the hood issue.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that Tesla has released a free software update to address the issue.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on Sept. 22.

Vehicle owners may also reach out to Tesla customer service at 1-877-798-3752 for more information. They may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit to www.nhtsa.gov.

Last month Tesla recalled its futuristic new Cybertruck pickup for the fourth time in the U.S. since it went on sale Nov. 30 to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail.

NEW YORK (AP) U.S. health officials Friday announced a recall of some Boar's Head liverwurst and other deli meats as they investigate a listeria outbreak that has sickened nearly three dozen people and caused two deaths.

Boars Head Provisions Co. recalled its liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The company is also recalling additional deli meats that were produced on the same line and on the same day as the liverwurst.

The USDA said a sample of Boar's Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by the Maryland Department of Health as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.

Testing is underway to determine if the liverwurst sample is connected to the outbreak, health officials said.

The outbreak was first reported last week. As of Thursday, 34 people were sickened, with all but one hospitalized. Two people died.

People most commonly reported eating deli-sliced turkey, liverwurst and ham, officials said.

Listeria can contaminate food and sicken people who eat it. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea and diarrhea. It can be treated with antibiotics, but it is especially dangerous to pregnant women, newborns, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems.

An estimated 1,600 people get listeria food poisoning each year and about 260 die, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Boar's Head recall includes a number of products stamped with an August 10 sell-by date, including bologna, garlic bologna, beef bologna, beef salami, Italian Cappy-style ham and Extra Hot Italian Cappy-style ham. Also included is Steakhouse Roasted Bacon Heat and Eat, with a sell-by date of Aug. 15.

A popular brand of parenting devices is voluntarily recalling nearly 1 million sleep machine power adapters due to the potential risk of electrical shock.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday that Hatch Baby was recalling adapters sold with its Rest 1st Generation sound machines. The recall affects 919,400 adapters sold in the U.S., as well as 44,352 sold in Canada from from January 2019 through May 2024.

Hatch said it has received 19 reports of the plastic housing on the adapter coming apart, including two reports of people who experienced "a minor electrical shock." The white rectangular adapters being recalled will have model number CYAP05 050100U printed in the back near the prongs, along with the words "Jiangsu Chenyang Electron Co. LTD" and "Made in China."

Consumers in possession of the recalled adapters are being urged to immediately stop using them and contact Hatch to receive a replacement, free of charge. This can be done by unplugging the recalled adapter, cutting the cord, and emailing a photo of the destroyed adapter to recall@hatch.co, along with your name and mailing address.

The company said once consumers receive a replacement adapter, their Rest 1st generation sound machines will be safe to continue using.

Vitamix has expanded a recall of blending containers and blade bases after dozens of laceration injuries were reported to the company, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Thursday.

According to the CPSC, the recall now includes 569,000 Vitamix Ascent Series and Venturist Series blending containers and blade bases. The units were sold with certain Vitamix blenders, including the Venturist V1200, Ascent A2300, Ascent A2500, Ascent A3300, and Ascent A3500 models. The blending containers hold either 8 ounces or 20 ounces.

Previously, Vitamix had recalled 105,000 blending containers and blade bases.

The CPSC said that the containers can separate from the blade, which poses a laceration risk to users. The CPSC said Vitamix received 27 reports of lacerations, including 11 reports from before the 2018 recall.

The CPSC said that consumers, including those who participated in the previous recall, should immediately stop using the containers and bases. Consumers are encouraged to contact Vitamix for a repair kit consisting of a protective plastic shroud to attach over the blade base and additional instructional labels.

The units were sold at numerous locations, including Costco, Best Buy, Crate & Barrel, Macy's, Target, Williams Sonoma, Walmart, Amazon.com, QVC.com and Vitamix.com.

The CPSC posts updated recall notices on its website every Thursday. You can search through past CPSC recalls on its website. You can also be among the first to learn of product recalls by signing up for emails directly through the CPSC.

More than half a million phone chargers sold exclusively at Costco are under recall due to fire risk.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recall applies to about 567,000 myCharge POWER HUB All-In-One 10,000mAh portable chargers. They can overheat while being charged, causing burn and fire risks.

The portable chargers are black with two attached charging cables and retractable wall prongs used to charge the power bank.

There have been a total of 120 reports of overheating affiliated with the product. MyCharge has also received reports of five incidents two of which were house fires that resulted in about $165,000 in property damage.

Costco has received 115 returns for the portable chargers, with complaints about melting, expanding, smoking, fire, burning, exploding, or sparking, CPSC said.

There have been no reported injuries affiliated with the chargers.

The recall applies to model numbers AO10FK-A, AO10FK-B, and AO10FK-C. The model number can be found on the back of the device.

Date codes found on the outer surface of the wall prong included in the recall end in 21, 22, or are one of these codes ending in 23: 0123, 0923, 1523, or 1723.

CPSC said customers can contact myCharge for a replacement.

Customers should immediately stop using their chargers, but they need to take appropriate measures to throw them out.

CPSC is urging consumers to follow state and local ordinances for discarding lithium-ion batteries. Municipal recycling centers have established protocols for disposing of defective or recalled lithium-ion batteries because they could be hazardous.

The batteries should not be thrown in the trash, nor should they be deposited in battery recycling boxes often found in home improvement stores.

Dollar Tree failed to effectively recall lead-tainted applesauce pouches linked to reports of illness in more than 500 children, leaving the products on some stores shelves for two months, the Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday.

The FDA sent a warning letter to Dollar Tree this month and placed Negasmart, the Ecuadorian distributor of WanaBana apple cinnamon pouches, under import alerts following the October 2023 recall of the products found to be contaminated with extremely high levels of lead and chromium.

Children in 44 states had probable or confirmed cases of elevated blood lead levels after eating the applesauce pouches marketed for toddlers, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak was declared over in April.

FDA officials sent a warning letter to Dollar Tree Inc. last week saying the WanaBana apple puree products remained on store shelves in several states through late December, two months after the firm was told about the recall. Officials at the Chesapeake, Virginia-based company had said they disallowed sales of the products at registers, but the FDA said that was not an effective measure because at least one child in Washington state ate a recalled fruit pouch in a store before an attempted purchase.

Dollar Tree officials said in an email Tuesday that the company is operating under new management and is taking steps to bolster its process for quickly and effectively executing product recalls. The company operates more than 16,000 discount stores in 48 states.

Negasmart was placed under multiple import alerts this month, even though FDA officials said they had no indication that the firm is attempting to import products into the U.S. The action is to ensure that any attempt by the firm to import products would be flagged by FDA reviewers and prevented from reaching consumers. Tests showed that cinnamon tested from the plant had lead levels more than 2,000 times higher than a maximum level proposed by the FDA.

Anyone who consumed the recalled pouches should consult with a health care provider, the CDC said. There is no safe level of lead consumption, which can cause serious learning and behavior problems, the agency emphasized.

The pouches include those sold under the WanaBana brand at Dollar Tree stores and online and under the Schnucks and Weis brands in stores. Because they have a long shelf life, they may still be in consumers homes. Consumers should not eat or serve the pouches and should discard them.

An infant formula voluntarily recalled by its manufacturer less than two weeks ago has now been found to contain a potentially deadly bacteria.

Dairy Manufacturers Inc. originally recalled its Crecelac and Famalac products on May 24 because they were found in noncompliance with the Food and Drug Administration's infant formula registration requirements. But on Tuesday, the FDA shared an update from the brand warning consumers of a safety issue associated with the recalled product.

The issue centers on the previously recalled Crecelac Infant 0-12 month formula with an August 2025 expiration date that has now tested positive for Cronobacter spp, a bacterium that can live in dry foods like powdered formula, per the CDC.

Cronobacter infections are rare but serious, and although they have been reported in all age groups, the CDC says infections are most common  and most deadly in infants less than 2 months old.

The age group is most likely to develop meningitis through the infection, but the germ can also cause other central nervous system or bloodstream infections, such as sepsis. A recent report states that 40% of infants who developed either form of infection due to Cronobacter worldwide have died, per the CDC.

Other complications infants can experience from a Cronobactor infection include brain abscess, developmental delays, motor impairments and death, according to the FDA.

Older adults who become infected with Cronobacter will generally see milder symptoms, but the FDA says early symptoms in infants may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice, grunting breaths or abnormal body movements.

There have been no reports of injuries or adverse reactions related to the recalled Crecelac Infant formula, according to the FDA, but consumers who have purchased the product are being asked to discontinue use and return it to their place of purchase for a full refund.

The 12.4-ounce cardboard and aluminum containers included in the safety notice were distributed primarily in March, April and May, only in the state of Texas. The recalled product can be identified through the batch code on the bottom of it, with the UPC code of "8 50042 40847 6" and a lot code of "24 039 1 CHE 352-1."

The other formulas involved in the initial recall, which were sold without being evaluated by the FDA to determine whether they meet U.S. food safety and nutritional standards, can be found here.

Ground black pepper sold under the Baraka brand is being recalled over possible salmonella contamination.

Parent company UBC Food Distributors said the recalled black pepper was distributed to retailers nationwide.

The recall applies to 7-ounce containers in clear plastic packaging that have a January 2026 expiration date on the back of the label. The recalled product has UPC code 8 22514 26626 6.

Salmonella can cause serious health effects.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says salmonella bacteria causes about 1.35 million infections, 26,500 hospitalizations and 420 deaths in the U.S. each year.

Symptoms of illness from salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, the CDC says. Symptoms can begin between hours to almost a week after infection, and usually last four to seven days.

Most people recover without treatment, but those with severe cases may require antibiotics, according to the CDC. In some cases, hospitalization may be required.

A routine sampling of the black pepper collected by the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets came up positive for salmonella in some 7-ounce packages, prompting the recall.

Customers with the recalled product should return it to their place of purchase for a full refund, the company said.

Production of the product has been halted and an investigation into the cause of the contamination is underway.
