According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, KGR Distribution has recently issued a recall on 145,000 pieces of its Cocco Candy Rolling Candy due to the possibility that the candy's rolling ball could fall out and endanger children's lives by choking them. A seven-year-old girl choked and died in New York after a Cocco Candy Rolling Candy ball dislodged and became trapped in her throat.

The candy was offered for sale for around $2.50 per piece in Massachusetts, the rest of the nation, and online at www.kgrcandies.com. The Rolling Candy varieties  that were recalled on October 5, 2023, are listed below.

The CPSC advises you to stop using them right away and keep them away from your kids if you have any of the varieties of the recalled Rolling Candy products in your house. By contacting KGR Distribution, you can request a complete refund for the item.

From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, you can reach KGR by phone at (888) 802-8823, send an email to Recall@kgrdistribution.com, or visit their website at www.kgrcandies.com and click on "Recall Information" at the top of the page.

Friendly Reminder: Regardless of the Halloween sweets your kids receive, it's a good idea to check what's in their candy bags or buckets before the small ones enjoy the goodies.
