可致命窒息、急救也可能排不出：FDA警示勿买勿喂Once Upon a Farm幼儿软烘棒，全口味全批次、厂商已同意召回
美国食品药品监管局（FDA）10月30日发布食品安全警示：消费者不要购买、也不要喂食 Once Upon a Farm 品牌的 Tractor Wheels 有机幼儿软烘棒（Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars），该产品存在可能致命的窒息风险。警示适用于全部口味、全部规格与全部品种，包括所有批次编号与所有有效期限。
FDA 表示，已接获数起报告，描述年龄在 1.5 岁至 2.5 岁之间的幼儿在食用该产品后出现气道完全阻塞、无法呼吸的情况。据报告，该产品在咀嚼后会形成干而黏的团块，常规窒息急救手段——包括拍背与海姆立克急救法——可能无法将其排出。部分报告中的窒息个案需要急救人员介入处理，并送医住院观察。
这款幼儿软烘棒在全美线上与实体店均有销售，渠道包括 Costco、Target 与 Walmart，也可能经 Amazon 等第三方平台出售，FDA 表示其他销售渠道的信息将随调查进展更新。
FDA 已把不良事件报告通知涉事厂商，厂商已同意启动召回。FDA 要求消费者不要购买或喂食任何口味的该产品，家中已有的应立即丢弃；零售商不应继续出售该产品。
FDA 同时提醒：如有人正在窒息、且其他急救措施无法排出阻塞物，应拨打 911 求助；出现相关症状的消费者应联系医疗服务提供者报告症状并接受诊治，也可通过 FDA 的行业与消费者协助渠道报告投诉或不良事件。FDA 表示将随更多信息公布持续更新这份警示。
Potentially Fatal Choking Hazard That First Aid May Not Dislodge: FDA Warns Against Once Upon a Farm Toddler Soft-Baked Bars, All Flavors and Lots, Firm Agrees to Recall
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 30 advised consumers not to buy or serve Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars, citing a potentially fatal choking hazard. The advisory covers all flavors, quantities and varieties of the product, including all lot codes and expiration dates.
The FDA said it has received several reports describing toddlers aged 1.5 to 2.5 years suffering complete airway obstruction and being unable to breathe after consuming the product. When chewed, the product reportedly forms a dry, sticky mass that standard choking interventions, including back blows and the Heimlich maneuver, may fail to dislodge. Some reported choking incidents required emergency response intervention and hospital observation.
The product is sold nationwide online and at stores including Costco, Target and Walmart, and may also be sold through Amazon and other third-party vendors. The FDA said it will update the advisory as more information becomes available.
The FDA has informed the firm of the adverse event reports, and the firm has agreed to initiate a recall. Consumers should not buy or serve any flavor of the bars and should immediately throw away any they have; retailers should not sell the product.
The FDA also advises calling 9-1-1 if someone is choking and other first aid measures have failed to dislodge the obstruction. Consumers with symptoms should contact their health care provider, and complaints or adverse events can be reported through the FDA's Industry and Consumer Assistance channel. The FDA said it will continue to update the advisory as information becomes available.
