Campbell Soup Recall Due to Hard Plastic in Cans

Campbell Soup Co. announced that it is voluntarily recalling 72,300 units of 18.8 ounce cans of soup namely "Campbell's Chunky" Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits as they might contain pieces of hard plastic that present a choking hazard and may cause injury if swallowed. No other "Campbell's" soup products are affected by Thursday's recall.

The soups were shipped to 24 states, including Iowa.  However, the main concern is choking.

The recalled cans contain the code, "JUL 08 2009 0797".

The company said that three people who consumed Campbell's Chunky Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits have reported minor injuries in and around the mouth. Campbell Soup also sells Prego and Pace sauces; Pepperidge Farm biscuits, cookies and crackers; and Godiva Chocolates.

Campbell assured that consumers can return the product to the store where they purchased it and can avail an exchange or full refund.
