New Listeria Risk Prompts Nationwide Recall [Recall Roundup]

New listeria risk prompts nationwide recall [recall roundup]. A pan may leach "significant levels of lead"; a car's gas tank may melt; a camp stove may explode; and a nasal spray may make people sicker. Boar's Head is back in the news after a supplier recalled certain products that may be contaminated with listeria, and a pan in Thanksgiving cooks' cupboards may contain "significant" amounts of lead, according to recent recall notices. Several other products also pose health and safety concerns, according to notices posted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Boar's Head has issued a nationwide recall for certain pecorino Romano cheese products that may be contaminated with listeria, a bacterium that can cause foodborne illnesses. The company said in a recall notice that the supplier of the affected cheeses, The Ambriola Company, has voluntarily recalled them due to the potential presence of listeria: Find out what's happening in across americafor free with the latest updates from patch. * Boar's Head Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese - 6-ounce retail cup * Boar's Head Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese - food service-sized bags Boar's Head said that in an "abundance of caution," it also was withdrawing Boar's Head Pecorino Romano Cheese sold as a seven-ounce pre-cut wedge. That cheese was also produced for the Boar's Head label by The Ambriola Company. "This was an isolated incident related to The Ambriola Company (a third-party manufacturer). No other Boar's Head products manufactured at any other facility are impacted by this recall," the company said. Boar's Head was the focus of a massive recall in 2024 linked to listeria, where it withdrew 7 million pounds of deli meats potentially contaminated with listeria. Ten people died and nearly 60 were hospitalized in a listeria outbreak that was traced to a plant in Jarratt, Virginia, that produced Boar's Head deli meats. Brooklyn, New York-based Shata Traders Inc. has recalled its 24-centimeter Chef Brand Milk Pan after Food and Drug Administration testing found "significant levels of lead" that may leach into food and cause serious health problems, especially in children. The pans were distributed across New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Virginia, and Massachusetts. The FDA said consumers should stop using the recalled pans and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions should be directed to Mahboob Rahman at 718-369-7000. Lead poisoning can cause a range of problems, from learning difficulties and behavior changes in children to fatigue, stomach pain, or neurologic problems for both children and adults, according to the FDA. No amount of exposure to lead is considered safe. About 201,000 camping cook stoves have been recalled after more than two dozen reports of explosions and fires, resulting in several burn injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Ozark Trail stoves were distributed through Walmart stores and on its website. The recall involves the Ozark Trail Tabletop 1-Burner Butane Camping Stove, model BG2247A1, which was manufactured by China Window Industry Co. Ltd., the agency said. China Window Industry has reported 26 incidents of the stoves exploding or catching fire. Sixteen of these cases resulted in injuries, including several second-degree burns. Walmart is offering a full refund for any returned unit. The affected models were sold from March 2023 to October 2025 for around $45. Customers may direct questions to Walmart at 800-925-6278 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Central Time or visit the retailer's online recall center. Hyundai is recalling more than 85,000 Sonata sedans because the gas tanks may melt, according to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recalled autos are Sonatas equipped with the nonhybrid turbocharged 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine from model years 2020 through 2023. According to documents filed with the NHTSA, the affected cars "may become pressurized with compressed air due to a worn purge control system check valve." This influx of air could potentially deform and expand the fuel tank. If the tank expands enough to touch hot exhaust pipes, it could melt. The resulting fuel leak increases the risk of fire. Owners may experience a few warning signs, such as a popping noise from the rear or a malfunction indicator light. Or, the vehicle may not start at all or the odor of gasoline may fill the cabin. There have been no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the problem, but NHTSA said it is aware of seven fuel tank leak reports between March 21, 2023, and Sept. 11, 2025. Hyundai plans to notify owners of the affected vehicles to bring them to a dealership for an inspection and repairs if necessary. Letters are expected by mail starting on Jan. 16, 2026. More than 40,000 bottles of Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray have been recalled over bacterial contamination concerns. On Nov. 21, the FDA labeled the action a Class II recall, meaning that use of the contaminated product "may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." The contaminant, pseudomonas, is a type of bacteria commonly found in soil and water that is a leading cause of infections, most notably in people with weakened immune systems or those who are already sick, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can cause infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), urinary tract, or other parts of the body after surgery. It can also cause mild illnesses such as swimmer's ear or skin rash in healthy people. Two batches of 15-ounce Walgreens Saline Nasal Spray With Xylitol are included in the recall: * Lot #71409, Expiration Date: 2/28/2027 * Lot #71861, Expiration Date: 8/31/2027 Consumers who bought the affected sprays should immediately stop using them, according to the FDA. About 320 gallons of Prairie Farm Fat Free Milk were distributed in Illinois and Wisconsin before the Dubuque, Iowa, processing facility discovered that some may be contaminated with food-grade cleaning agents that may cause illnesses if consumed, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Only part of the production run was affected, but Prairie Farms said it is recalling all of its fat-free milk with the DEC08 code date, PLT19-145 plant code produced during the impacted timeframe of 17:51 to 21:23 hours on Nov. 24. The milk was distributed to 12 locations in Wisconsin and six in Illinois.
