Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 4,049,094 units of various Kool-Aid, Country Time, Tang, and Arizona Arnold Palmer powder drink mixes have been recalled due to the potential presence of foreign materials, specifically glass and metal fragments. The recall affects a wide range of flavors and container sizes, including large canisters and "On the Go" sticks, sold at retailers nationwide and internationally. Consumers who purchased these products should check for specific UPC codes and "Best When Used By" dates between May 2023 and November 2023. You should return any affected product to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.

Risk

The presence of glass and metal fragments in the drink powder poses a serious risk of internal injury or choking if the product is prepared and consumed. No specific injuries were reported in this data, but these sharp materials can cause cuts to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for Kool-Aid, Country Time, Tang, or Arizona Arnold Palmer powder drink mix canisters or 'on the go' packs.
  2. Identify if your product is affected by matching the UPC and 'Best When Used By' dates. For example, check Kool-Aid Tropical Punch 19 oz (UPC 043000953501) for dates 6/12/2023-10/20/2023, or Tang Orange 20 oz (UPC 043000032275) for dates 5/15/2023-10/23/2023.
  3. Verify other specific affected products like Country Time Pink Lemonade (UPC 043000951149), Lemonade (UPC 043000951170), and Arizona Arnold Palmer (UPC 043000086643) with 'Best When Used By' dates ending in 2023.
  4. Do not consume any prepared drink or use the powder if it matches the recalled identifiers.
  5. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or dispose of it immediately.
  6. For further information or questions about the recall, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint line at 1-888-723-3332 (1-888-SAFEFDA) or visit www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
