WanaBana USA is voluntarily recalling the WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree Pouches due to elevated levels of lead found in certain units. The company is working with the FDA to investigate the source of the contamination.
Four illnesses have been reported, prompting investigations by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Tests conducted in North Carolina revealed high concentrations of lead, which could have serious health effects.
If you have purchased WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree Pouches with the specified batch numbers and expiration dates, we strongly advise you to stop using the product immediately and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Parents and caregivers of children who may have been exposed to lead should contact their healthcare provider to report any symptoms and seek appropriate care. Lead exposure can have long-term health impacts and it is essential to protect children from this toxin. Clinical testing is necessary to diagnose lead poisoning, so please reach out to your child’s healthcare provider if you suspect they may have consumed the affected product.
Symptoms of lead toxicity include headaches, abdominal pain, vomiting, and anemia. Longer-term exposure may lead to additional symptoms such as irritability, lethargy, muscle aches, and difficulty concentrating.
Please note that WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Puree Pouches were distributed nationwide through online and retail stores.
