The TJX Companies, Inc. today announced it is recalling “ecoato”
Sweet Paprika Powder products as they have the potential to be
contaminated with Salmonella. Upon learning of the potential
risk from the Food and Drug Administration, the Company took rapid
action to alert its stores to remove the product from store shelves
immediately and has put in place additional measures to prevent
sales of the product.
The specific product being recalled comes in a 160 gram, light
green tin package and is marked as lot #8147, with an expiration
date of October 2015.
The Company estimates that approximately 150 units were sold
between June 2014 and July 2014 at its T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and
HomeGoods stores in the following 19 states/regions:
Alabama
Connecticut
Maryland
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
South Carolina
District of Columbia Mississippi Tennessee Florida New Hampshire
Texas Georgia New York Virginia Illinois
Louisiana
North Carolina
Puerto Rico
While no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with
this issue, consumers who have purchased a product under this lot
of “ecoato” Sweet Paprika Powder are urged to return it to any T.J.
Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods store for a full refund. Consumers
with questions should contact the Company at 1-800-926-6299.
In addition to actions taken to remove the product from store
shelves, further sale of the product has been suspended while the
Food and Drug Administration and the Company continue their
investigation as to the source of the problem.
The potential for contamination was noted after spot testing by
the Food and Drug Administration revealed the presence of
Salmonella in some samples of the product. Salmonella is an
organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in
young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened
immune systems. Healthy persons infected
with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which
may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare
circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the
organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis and arthritis.
