Lotte USA Inc. is recalling China-made cookies sold both in Canada and the United States because they may be contaminated with melamine.
The recall covers several flavours of Koala's March creme-filled cookies sold in both king-size and family-size packages.
Melamine is the industrial chemical blamed for killing four infants and sickening 54,000 children in China. It's used to make plastics and fertilizers.
Michigan-based Lotte said on Friday that it initiated the recall on Sept. 29.
The company said it's not aware of any illnesses associated with the products.
