We are recalling the products and revising the labeling to ensure persons with fish allergies are aware of its presence.

Funger said that the company has received no complaints or reports of an allergic reaction to the products.

Consumers who have purchased the products are urged to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions regarding this recall may call the company at 1-800-255-0517.
