Why PT Organics Issued the Recall
The pouch supplier alerted PT Organics to a limited production run in which an inner-layer packaging defect could leave thin strands of soft plastic attached to the inside of certain pouches. Although the material is food-grade and non-toxic, it can present a choking hazard—particularly for infants and toddlers who are the brand’s core consumers. No injuries have been reported, but the company is recalling the product out of an abundance of caution.
