Target has issued a recall of one of its store-brand baby food products after elevated levels of lead were detected, according to a recent update from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The product was classified under a Class II recall, meaning that use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health effects, although the risk of serious harm is considered low.
Which Product Is Affected?
