Gerber baby food recalled
MONDAY, July 16 (BabyCenter News) — Baby food maker Gerber is recalling all packages of its organic rice and organic oatmeal cereals. The cereal may contain lumps that don’t dissolve in water or milk, posing a potential choking hazard to young children. The company has received choking complaints, but no reports of injury.
Gerber organic rice and organic oatmeal cereals are sold in 8-ounce boxes. The UPC code for the rice cereal is 15000 12504, and the code for the oatmeal is 15000 12502. These numbers can be found on the bottom right side of the box.
If you have one of these products, call the Gerber Parents Resources Center at (800) 443-7237 or (231) 928-3000 to return it and get a full refund.
You can see a photo of the oatmeal cereal on the FDA’s website.

Everything is being recalled because our society has become so litigious. When using products, the consumer is also responsible for being attentive and using common sense with the product. In the case of the Listerine as the previous posted mentioned, this wouldn’t be the case for the consumer, but the Gerber cereal I would imagine an attentive parent would catch the lumps. Not to say that Gerber isn’t at fault, but we as consumers need to be aware. Companies are in it to make money and profit; sometimes safety issues are pushed to the wayside. Doesn’t mean we should be so lawsuit happy though!
