Keeping up with product recalls is a crucial aspect of consumer safety. We know that it can be hard to stay on top of everything, so we’re here to help with our June Recall Roundup. From food items like Marie Callender’s Shepherd’s Pie and frozen strawberries to tools such as hedge trimmers, this guide will help keep your family safe.

Marie Callender’s Shepherd’s Pie: A Hidden Threat in Comfort Food
Marie Callender’s, a well-known brand loved by many, recently announced a recall for their Shepherd’s Pie. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The product may contain milk and soy, two common allergens, which are not declared on the product label. If you or a family member has a milk or soy allergy, check your freezer and make sure to return this product to the store.

Beware of Frozen Strawberries: A Potential Health Risk
Next in our roundup is the recall of certain batches of frozen strawberries. Tests have detected Hepatitis A virus in some packages. If you’ve recently purchased frozen strawberries, it’s important to check the brand and lot number against the information provided by the FDA. Remember, when in doubt, it’s best to discard the product to avoid potential health risks.

Hedge Trimmers: Unexpected Danger in the Garden
Even non-food items can pose potential hazards. Several models of hedge trimmers have been recalled due to a laceration risk. Certain models’ blades can break under heavy use, posing a serious risk to users. If you’ve purchased a hedge trimmer recently, cross-reference your model with the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall list.

Staying Safe and Informed
Keeping track of recalls can seem overwhelming, but it’s a key part of ensuring the safety of you and your family. Make sure to regularly check recall lists from trusted sources like the FDA and the CPSC. And, if you ever suspect that a product you own has been recalled, don’t hesitate to reach out to the manufacturer for information.
