Connecticut Crab Company LLC is recalling approximately 175 pounds of various sized crab cakes due to potential temperature abuse during storage or shipping. This temperature abuse can lead to the growth of Clostridium botulinum, which can cause life-threatening illness. The recalled crab cakes were sold to food service providers in New York and New Jersey in shrimp boxes weighing between 4 and 5 pounds.
The product may have been stored at improper temperatures, allowing Clostridium botulinum bacteria to grow and produce toxins. These toxins cause botulism, a rare but serious paralytic illness that can lead to respiratory failure and death.
You have 2 options:
Shipped in shrimp boxes that generally weigh between 4-5lbs.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
