Summary

U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Mfg Co. LLC has recalled various Copenhagen, Husky, and Skoal smokeless tobacco products due to the discovery of foreign material in the product cans. The recall affects a wide range of varieties produced at the Franklin Park facility, including various long cut, fine cut, pouch, and snus products. While no injuries have been reported to date, the presence of non-tobacco related materials inside the packaging poses a potential safety risk. These products were distributed across the United States, Canada, and to the U.S. Military.
