Crystal Temptations has initiated a nationwide recall for its Halloween Chocolatey Eyeballs after discovering the product contains undeclared milk allergens. The recall affects items sold at Marshalls, TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and Sierra Trading Post across 13 states. While no illnesses have been reported, the company warns that individuals with milk sensitivities face risks of serious allergic reactions from consuming the mislabeled candy.
Why are the chocolatey eyeballs being recalled?
The Crystal Temptations chocolatey eyeballs recall was triggered after a TJX analyst identified that packaging failed to disclose the presence of whey, a milk derivative. The company stated that the oversight resulted from a temporary breakdown in its production and packaging processes. Consumers are advised to check their products for specific style numbers listed on the company's official recall notice to confirm if their purchase is affected.
What should consumers do with the product?
Consumers who have purchased these items are urged to destroy the product immediately. Because refunds are not available at retail locations, customers must contact Crystal Temptations directly with proof of purchase to receive a refund. The company is managing the return process to ensure all affected inventory is removed from circulation and that customers are properly compensated for the recalled merchandise.
