Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

American Snuff Company is recalling 25,760 cases of Grizzly and Kodiak brand moist snuff because the products may contain sharp pieces of plastic. The affected products include Grizzly Premium Mint, Straight, and Wintergreen Long Cut, as well as Kodiak Premium Wintergreen, packaged in 1.2-ounce cans. These plastic fragments may have chipped off the top edge of the cans during the manufacturing process. Consumers should immediately check the can codes on the bottom of their packaging to determine if their tobacco is part of this voluntary recall.

Risk

The sharp plastic pieces inside the snuff cans pose a serious health hazard to users, as they could cause cuts or internal injuries if accidentally ingested or used. No injuries were reported at the time of the recall, but the potential for physical harm from the foreign material is high due to the sharp nature of the fragments.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the bottom of your moist snuff cans for the specific product codes. Affected Grizzly Premium Mint Long Cut (UPC 0 429101 1) codes include ranges from S12I0FG5 through S12N8GG5.
  2. For Grizzly Premium Straight Long Cut (UPC 0 428861 9), check for codes starting with S12N9GG5 and ending with S12W8MG5.
  3. For Grizzly Premium Wintergreen Long Cut (UPC 0 428711 5), look for codes between S12H4IG5 and S12S5JG5.
  4. For Kodiak Premium Wintergreen (UPC 0 422941 2), affected codes range from S12S6JG5 to S12B3NG5.
  5. Stop using any affected tobacco product immediately if the code matches the recall list.
  6. Return the affected product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact American Snuff Company, LLC for further instructions.
  7. For more information, you can contact the manufacturer at their Memphis facility located at 5106 Tradeport Dr, Memphis, TN 38141-8235.
