Similac Formula Recall 2010 – Abbott laboratories announced today that they are recalling 5 million cans of specific Similac brand powdered infant formula.
The specific products are 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9 ounce cans of Similac powder that have lot numbers 87932T20, 88117T26, 78208T2,88136T20,91433t20,66128RB6,61251 RB6,61347RB,84314 RB,85454 T2,86580 T20,88137T20 and 90372T20.
Parents should be concerned due to the fact that the voluntary recall is taking place because the company believes the products may contain beetles.
Melissa Brotz, a spokeswoman from Abbott said in a statement that small insects were found in the cans of milk produced at a Sturgis, Michigan manufacturing facility.
The company has stopped all production in the facility.
Concerned parents can contact representatives through their website (www.similac.com/recall10) or Abbott’s consumer hotline at (800).986.8850.
