Bubble gum with high levels of Lead recalled by FDA

With each passing day, we come across companies recalling their products so that it cannot harm humans in anyway. Now we heard that the Food and Drug Administration of the US have decided to recall Toxic Waste Short Circuits Bubble Gum because according to them, it contains elevated amounts of lead that can affect the health of humans. When the amounts of lead are more, it could harm the health of children, infants and women who are pregnant. This bubble gum is being imported from Pakistan and is being marketed by Candy Dynamics. They themselves have asked for its recall. The FDA recently conducted a test on this gum and they found out that the levels of lead in it are 0.189 parts per million and the FDA tolerates only upto 0.1 ppm. Its size is 32 oz and it was distributed from January this year. So far, no illness has come to the light following the usage of the bubble gum. Candy Dynamics are now urging the people to destroy the product by calling at 317-228-5012. This is certainly a good move by the FDA because they want to risk the lives of the people by approving a gum which has a high concentration of lead. This product is being sold at retailers in Michigan and other parts of the US. It is also available in Canada. The bubble gum was imported through mail order. The company manufacturer’s now have some serious thinking to do about the gum. McNeil Called Off Tylenol, Motrin and Zyrtec; Use Generic FDA Pulls back the Medtronic Pump fill
