Perrigo Company is recalling more than 23,000 containers of Parent’s Choice baby formula, which was sold exclusively at Walmart, warning about a risk that metal pieces may be in the powder and harm infants.

The Walmart Parent’s Choice Advantage Infant Formula recall was posted to the FDA’s website on June 21, indicating containers may metal foreign material.

The recall came after a consumer reported finding metal pieces in one container of the formula. The manufacturer then determined one lot of Parent’s Choice Formula had the potential presence of “metal foreign matter” in a single lot, which could pose a serious risk for infants. However, no adverse events or injuries have been linked to the recalled baby formula to date.
