Some teething sticks recalled in January remain for sale, Gerber warns
Companies don’t like making massive product recalls. They really don’t like reminding everyone about that recall months later. But that’s what Gerber Products Co. did Friday, concerning January’s Snacks for Baby soothe ‘n’ chew Teething Stick recall.
“We are issuing a second press release about this recall due to recent reports of recalled product still available for sale on some retailer shelves and online,” Gerber said.
