A carrot recall has been issued by Target and Walmart on Bolthouse Farms carrot chips. They have been recalled for possible Salmonella contamination.   About 5,600 cases of 16-ounce bags of the sliced carrot wedges were shipped to retail customers in the United States and Canada under the brand names Bolthouse Farms Carrot Chips, Safeway Farms Carrot Chips and Farm Stand Carrot Chips.

There haven’t been any illnesses reported yet but I think it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Here’s what you should look for:

At Target stores the products under recall include 16 0z bags of Bolthouse Farms Carrot Chips with the Target item number: 211-15-0009 and best if used by dates of Nov. 12 and Nov. 13.

At Walmart stores, the recalled products have the following information on their 16 0z bag of Bolthouse Farms Carrot Chips: “Best is used by” date of Nov. 12 with  UPC code 71464 17209 or “Best is used by” date of Nov. 13 and UPC 71464 17209.

Attention parents!  Bumbo has issued a recall on 4 million Bumbo baby seats after nearly two dozen reports of infant skull fractures.  This was one of my favorite baby items and I’m sad to see that so many babies were injured by it.  The company has now added additional straps to keep babies from climbing out and falling.  At our house we always used the optional tray and it kept my little one in there great but she really wasn’t a squirmer at that time.  You can order a repair kit by visiting or calling 866-898-4999. www.recall.BumboUSA.com  For more information go and read Fox’s article on Bumbo Seat Recall 2012.

Thanks, Week 99er for the heads up!
