Lead-Tainted Toxic Waste Brand Nuclear Sludge Candy Recalled

Washington, DC: Circle City Marketing and Distributing, doing business as Candy Dynamics, Indianapolis, IN, is issuing a recall of all Toxic Waste® brand Nuclear Sludge® products, all flavors, 0.3 oz (8 g) size pieces. The product is imported from Pakistan.

Testing by the company indicates that some products contain elevated levels of lead (0.101 parts per million to .311 ppm; the U.S. FDA tolerance is 0.1 ppm) that potentially could cause health problems, particularly for infants, small children, and pregnant women.

The company has determined to recall all lots and all flavors of the smaller sized product distributed from the product's inception in May 2009 through January 2011.

The smaller sized products are identified as: Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Cherry (UPC 0 89894 81901 1), Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Green Apple (UPC 0 89894 81701 7), and Toxic Waste® Nuclear Sludge® Blue Raspberry (UPC 0 89894 81801 4). Each individual piece has a net wt. of 0.3 oz (8 g) and were sold individually, as part of a 'Party Bag' or Membership kit, and packed in 30 ct., 80 ct., and 120 ct. bags and a 120 ct. fishbowl.

No other "Toxic Waste®" brand product, besides those labeled "Nuclear Sludge®" is affected by this recall.

The recalled Nuclear Sludge® products were distributed nationwide in retail stores and through mail orders. The product was also distributed in Canada and in very limited quantities in Guatemala, Ireland, Jordan, Korea, Mexico and El Salvador.
