Adamba Imports Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts in "Kasztanki" and "Viola" Chocolate Candy
Brooklyn, NY - May 20, 2002 -- Adamba
Imports International Inc., 585 Meserole
St., Brooklyn, NY 11237, is recalling
its 8 ounce packages of "Kasztanki"
and "Viola" chocolate candies
because they contain undeclared peanuts.
People who have allergies to peanuts
run the risk of serious or life-threatening
allergic reaction if they consume
these products.
The recalled "Kasztanki"
and "Viola" chocolate candies
were distributed in metropolitan
NY retail stores. The products come
in an 8 ounce, clear plastic package
marked "Kasztanki" with
UPC #76841-01272; and "Viola"
with UPC #76841-01275.
The recalls were initiated after
it was discovered that the peanut-containing
products were distributed in packaging
that did not reveal the presence
of peanuts. Distribution of these
products has been suspended until
the company is certain that the problem
has been corrected.
Consumers who have purchased 8 ounce
packages of "Kasztanki"
and "Viola" chocolate candies
are urged to return them to the place
of purchase for a full refund. Consumers
with questions may contact the company
at (718) 628-9700.
