About 6,600 Gemco lemonade jars are being recalled because they could cause lead poisoning, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.
The jars involved in the recall are marked with a sticker on the bottom that reads, “imported by Gemco, Div. Lifetime Hoan Corp. Westbury, N.Y. 11590 Made in China.”
The jars were sold in stores across the U.S. from April 2004 through November 2006 for about $16 US.
Consumers should stop using the jars and return them for a full refund.
