Class III U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Falcon Trading Company Black Beans Organic recall: Product contains pesticide residue

Recall published 7 months ago

Product contains pesticide residue

The hazard: Harmful chemical exposure

This notice concerns a chemical found in the product at a level regulators consider unsafe, which is usually caught by laboratory testing rather than by anybody noticing a problem.

What the notice says: Product contains pesticide residue

Why it matters: A chemical that should not be present at this level was found in the product. Depending on the substance, the concern may be a burn or irritation on contact, or a long-term risk from repeated exposure.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

For a splash or spill, rinse the skin or eyes with running water for 15 to 20 minutes and remove contaminated clothing. If the product was swallowed, or if there is any trouble breathing, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222, which operates free and around the clock — or 911 if the person is collapsing, struggling to breathe or unconscious. Take the container or a photo of the label with you to any appointment.

What to do about Chemical

Falcon Trading Company — This notice concerns a chemical found in the product at a level regulators consider unsafe, which is usually caught by laboratory testing rather than by anybody noticing a problem.

  1. Stop using the product and keep it away from children and pets.
  2. Keep the container — the lot code on it is what a refund claim and any medical follow-up both depend on.
  3. If anyone has symptoms, call Poison Control on 1-800-222-1222 rather than guessing.
  4. Do not pour it down a drain or into a bin without checking local hazardous-waste rules, and never mix it with another cleaner.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • A replacement is usually the current model, not the recalled one. Confirm the replacement is not itself under recall.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers who have purchased any of the products listed above are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.
