A 7-year-old girl died choking on Fastexy Exchangea ball that dislodged from a candy rollerball treat, prompting a recall of more than 70 million containers of two different products.
Candy Dynamics recalled 70 million containers of Slime Licker Sour Rolling Liquid Candy because of a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in an Thursday announcement.
In a separate recall Thursday, KGR Candies recalled about 145,800 tubes of Cocco Candy Rolling Candy because the treat's rolling ball can dislodge and get trapped in a person's throat, potentially causing death, the safety commission reported.
