What happened

The recalled product includes all cans filled between November 11, 1996, and May 5, 1999. Consumers can identify affected cans by checking the five-digit date code stamped on the back of the label, which is formatted as year-month-day (for example, "81127" indicates November 27, 1998). Affected consumers should return the product to the store where it was purchased for a replacement.
