History

Historical Context

After the FDA’s 2007 nationwide recall of Gerber baby food due to foreign-body contamination, regulators have repeatedly confronted hazards in infant products. The PT Organics Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit pouch recall follows that pattern, echoing a broader rise in such recalls, exemplified by a 76 % jump in foreign-object incidents in 2016.
