Frozen vegetable, fruit recall expands

42 brands included as precaution

SAN ANTONIO – Check your freezer for recalled peas, carrots and more. As a precaution, CRF Foods of Washington expanded its big recall to now include more than 350 products and 42 brands. The concern is the foods have the potential for listeria contamination.

Brands include Great Value, Parade, Kirkland, Organic by Nature, Trader Joe's and Wild Oats. The entire list can be found at the FDA's website.

All have a sell or use-by date between April 26, 2016 and April 26, 2018.

On Friday frozen organic peas were added to the recall list.

Consumers who have the products should either return them to the store or throw them out. 

A government investigation continues as eight people's illnesses nationwide have been linked to the frozen foods.

The recall is also causing a ripple effect. Pita Pal Foods of Houston is recalling some salads because they contain some of those vegetables.

Corn relish salad, Texas Caviar, Mediterranean 3-Bean and Chipotle Quinoa Salads are affected. All have expiration dates through June 13, 2016.

Walmart is recalling 1.2 million Rival electric water kettles after several people suffered burns.

Two models are affected: WK8283CU and WK8283CUY.

They were sold between March 2011 and October 2015.

The heating element can fail and rupture posing burn and shock dangers.

Consumers can return the kettle to Walmart for a refund.

Munchkin is recalling 180,000 pacifiers.

The recall involves the Latch Lightweight pacifiers and clips. The cover on the clip can detach and the baby can choke on it. No injuries have been reported.

Several styles are affected and can be seen on the CPSC's website.

Major retailers sold them for the past two years. Parents should contact Munchkin through the company's website for a refund or replacement.
