The company said on Thursday the red pieces of plastic are part of the can lining which may peel off. The company found out about the problem after receiving complaints from consumers. SpaghettiOs with meatballs are not affected.
The affected 14.2-ounce SpaghettiOs Original product has a date of Feb. 22, 2017, stamped on the base of the can, and UPC code of 51000 22432, which is printed under the bar code.
A representative from Campbell told ABC News the company had received about 50 calls from consumers over the pieces of plastic. Campbell is requesting that consumers do not eat the product, but return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund or exchange.
While the product was shipped to retailers in Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Arizona, California, Utah, Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Idaho, Tennessee and Arkansas, Campbell has issued a nationwide recall out of an abundance of caution.
