It looks like certain lots of Mega Pops lollipops are being recalled because the candy may contain "minute traces" of stainless steel.
A consumer complaint prompted North Carolina Department of Agriculture inspectors to test samples of the candy imported from Colombia, and that state agency found metal fibers and flakes in the candy and issued a consumer warning.
Columbina said that they while believe there is no health risk, they still urged customers to return any bag of Mega Pops, REGARDLESS of the lot number, to the store where it was purchasedfor either a refund or store credit.
It looks like the recalled lots of Mega Pops is about 90,000 bags in-total. They were distrubuted nationwide at several retailers and wholesalers.
The RECALLED LOTS are: Watermelon, cherry, orange and grape-flavored lollipops in 14-ounce and 28-ounce cellophane bags with the UPC code numbers of either 0 14272 10873 9 or 0 14272 10862 3. The lot numbers of 1240695, 1209708, or 1209796 can be found in a white square on the back of the bag in the lower left side.
They have setup a 24-hour hotline to answer ANY questions consumers may have. The number is.... (888) 317-3686.
