Read the official CPSC notice →What to do
Stop using the product and check it against the description above. This recall is in the most serious category, meaning the agency believes it can cause serious injury or death — don't finish the package or use up what's left. If you or a family member has already been affected, keep the packaging and the lot code — they're what a claim rests on later.
