Choking danger spurs Gerber recall
Gerber Products recalled all packages of its organic rice and organic oatmeal cereals Friday because of potential clumping of the baby food, which can pose a choking hazard.
Gerber said it has received complaints of choking but no reports of injury.
The company said a "limited quantity" of the cereals could contain lumps that do not dissolve in water or milk. The cereals, sold in 8-ounce boxes, were distributed nationwide. The baby food should not be eaten, and customers can call the Gerber parents resource center at 800-443-7237 or 231-928-3000 to return the product and receive a refund.
