Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling approximately 132,520 pounds of fully cooked chicken nugget products that may be contaminated with hard plastic pieces. The recall includes 5-lb. bags of Tyson Panko Chicken Nuggets and 20-lb. bulk packages of Spare Time Panko Chicken Nuggets. The problem was discovered after consumers reported finding round, hard plastic rod fragments, approximately 21mm long, inside the nuggets. Consumers should check their freezers for these products and return them to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.
The chicken nuggets may contain hard plastic fragments from a transfer belt rod, which poses a choking hazard or risk of injury to the mouth and digestive tract if consumed.
