The hazard: Choking hazard

The product sheds or contains pieces small enough to choke a young child, which is why the remedy is removal rather than an added warning label.

What the notice says: Once Upon a Farm (Berkeley, CA) is recalling all lots and varieties of fruit-flavored Tractor Wheel Organic Toddler Soft-Baked bars due to reports that the composition of the Tractor Wheel toddler snack can rapidly hydrate into a dense, dry, and sticky mass upon contact with saliva and during chewing, which can result in a potential choking hazard for toddlers for ages 1.5-2.5 years old.

Why it matters: Small parts can come off this product, or it contains pieces small enough to block a young child’s airway. Children under three explore with their mouths, and a blocked airway leaves minutes, not hours.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is coughing forcefully, let them cough — that clears an object better than anything you can do. If they cannot cough, cry or breathe, call 911 and begin back blows and chest thrusts for an infant, or abdominal thrusts for an older child, if you are trained. After any episode where the object was swallowed rather than spat out, have the child checked: a piece can lodge in the oesophagus without obvious symptoms.

What to do about Choking

Once Upon a Farm — The product sheds or contains pieces small enough to choke a young child, which is why the remedy is removal rather than an added warning label.

  1. Take the product away from any child under three and check the floor and furniture for pieces that have already come off.
  2. Refresh infant and child choking first aid if it has been a while; the Red Cross and most hospitals run short courses.
  3. Inspect similar items from the same range or set, since detaching parts usually point to a production problem rather than one bad unit.
  4. Do not hand it down to a younger sibling or drop it at a charity shop.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.
  • Paid by card? A chargeback for goods that are unfit for sale is a legitimate fallback once the company has had a fair chance.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
