Madison Harvey - Recall on Hash Browns

Summary - You may want to skip the frozen hash browns for now if you live in one of the nine states that sell Harris Teeter and Roundy's brands of hash browns.  The potatoes may contain pieces of golf balls, that's right I said golf balls.  According to the hash brown maker McCain Foods USA.  The hash browns could be contaminated with extraneous golf ball materials, that may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes used to make this product.  There hasn't been any reported injuries but the consumption of these products could be a choking hazard or other physical injury to the mouth.  The company voluntarily recalled the product.  The production code on the package is B170119 and was sold in Illinois, Wisconsin, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Maryland.  The contaminated products should be trhown away or returned to the store for a refund.

Analysis - This article was written by Ray Sanchez of CNN, to inform the public of the hazards from eating this product.  I'm not sure when or how the company found out about the situation but they seem to be taking the appropriate action to warn the public about it.
