Wawa has issued a recall warning to customers about a potential choking hazard in their milk products.
The convenience store recalled certain 16-ounce drinks in stores across Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey after pieces of soft plastic — which could cause someone to choke — were found in some products.
The recalled bottles of Wawa Dutch Chocolate Milk, Wawa Chocolate Milk, Wawa Cookies N Cream Milk and Wawa 2% Reduced Fat Milk have been removed from impacted stores and thrown away as a precautionary measure.
No customers have reported any injuries so far, the store said. The company did not immediately return The Independent’s request for comment.
