Milk Pan 24cm

What the company announced

Shata Traders Inc of Brooklyn, NY is recalling Chef Brand Milk Pan 24 cm, because it has the potential to be contaminated with significant levels of lead (Pb) which may leach into food. Lead is toxic to humans and can affect people of any age or health status, and there is no known safe level of exposure to lead. Even low levels of lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in children and fetuses. Consuming food with elevated lead levels can contribute to elevated levels of lead in the blood. Children and babies are more susceptible to lead toxicity due to their smaller body size, metabolism, and rapid growth. At low levels, children may not have obvious symptoms but can still experience trouble learning, low IQ, and behavior changes. At higher levels of lead exposure, people may experience fatigue, headache, stomach pain, vomiting, or neurologic changes.

The Chef Brand Milk Pan 24 cm product was distributed in NY, NJ, CT, MD, VA and MA areas.

The product is sold as 6Pcs/Box which are sold individually at retail.

No illnesses have been reported to date.

FDA collected the product samples from a retail store, and the product analysis found the products contain leachable lead that is harmful for human consumption.

If you have purchased Chef Brand Milk Pan 24cm, you are requested to stop using the product and return it to the retail store from where you have bought it for a full refund.

What to do about Food safety

Majestic Chef Pan — This product was withdrawn on a food safety ground. The lot codes listed are what define the recall — identical packs from other runs are unaffected.

  1. Stop eating it and check the codes on your pack against the identifiers listed on this page.
  2. Wash anything it touched, and clean the shelf it was stored on if the pack has leaked.
  3. Check the freezer and pantry for other packs from the same codes.
  4. If anyone is unwell after eating it, call a clinician and mention the recall by name.

Getting a refund without the pack

The commonest reason people skip the refund is that they have already thrown the item away. That rarely matters.

  • A photo of the label and lot code is accepted by most grocers, and so is a card statement line showing the purchase.
  • Store credit is often offered first. You can ask for the original payment method instead, and it is normally granted.
  • No photo either? Ask anyway. Grocery chains settle recall refunds at the service desk because disputing them costs more than paying them.
  • For a multi-pack or a case, ask for the full purchase price rather than a per-unit figure — the recall covers what you paid.

Remedy named in the notice: If you have purchased Chef Brand Milk Pan 24cm, you are requested to stop using the product and return it to the retail store from where you have bought it for a full refund.
