Things Fall Apart: Gerber's Clumping Choking Organic Baby Cereal

Feed your baby organic rice or oatmeal cereal? Sure you do. Organic = good, right? And that baby cereal, it's pretty handy, it just mixes with your chosen liquid and poof! cereal for your baby.

Except when it has lumps that won't dissolve. Yeah, you know and I know that you're unlikely to force your baby to actually eat those lumps, but hey, maybe somebody out there may overlook one inadvertently, or some precocious baby actually feeds himself (I've heard this happens), and all of a sudden you've got a choking baby on your hands. Which is not good. We try to avoid that.

I'm a little bothered that there's no mention of this on Gerber's actual site as of yet, but the known facts are that the recall involves Gerber organic rice and oatmeal cereal (in an 8-oz. box). You can call the Gerber parent's resource center at 800-443-7237 or 231-928-3000 to return the product and receive a refund.
