Beech-nut baby food recalled due to glass shard

AMSTERDAM, N.Y., April 15 (UPI) -- Beech-Nut Nutrition has recalled about 1,920 pounds of baby food after a piece of glass was found in a jar.

The company is recalling 4-ounce glass jars of Stage 2 sweet potato and chicken baby food marked "DEC 2016" and product numbers "12395750815" through "12395750821" on the cap. The jars also include establishment number "P-68A."

No other varieties of Beech-Nut products are included in the recall.

The recall was initiated after a customer found a small piece of glass in a jar of the baby food. Beech-Nut said it received the report of an oral injury associated with the consumption of the product.

"Outside of this single report, we have no indication that any other jar of our Classics Stage 2 Sweet Potato & Chicken is affected, but as a company of parents and families we are acting with an abundance of caution," the company said in a statement. "The quality and safety of our products is our number one priority. We know we have not met the expectations of parents who rely on Beech-Nut for quality nutrition for their babies and toddlers in this case, and for that we apologize."

Beech-Nut encouraged customers who purchased the item covered in the recall to return the item to the store where it was purchased for a full refund or exchange.
