Lotus Foods is recalling about 239,000 Rice Ramen Noodle Soup cups because the packaging incorrectly instructs consumers to cook the product in the microwave. The paper cups are not microwave-safe and can spark or catch fire during heating. The recall affects Red Miso, Masala Curry, and Tom Yum flavors sold in two-ounce cups at Whole Foods, Safeway, Amazon.com, and other retailers between August 2018 and November 2018. Consumers should immediately stop microwaving these cups and contact the company for a replacement coupon.
The paper soup cups are not designed for microwave use; when microwaved, the cups can become extremely hot, spark, or catch fire, posing a risk of fire and burns to consumers. Lotus Foods has received 12 reports of the cups sparking or catching fire, including one report of a minor burn.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled soup cups and contact Lotus Foods for a coupon for a replacement product.
