Aldi Recalls Over 21,000 Cotton Candy Makers Nationwide Over Fire Hazard

Aldi has issued two significant recalls involving consumer products sold at its stores. The first recall involves Urban Eats Japanese Style Vegetable Gyoza due to glass contamination found inside the 750g packs with best-before dates between April and June 2027, posing a risk of injury to consumers, who are advised not to eat the product and to return it for a refund. Separately, nearly 22,000 units of the Ambiano Cotton Candy Maker, sold between August and September 2024, have been recalled due to a fire hazard caused by a faulty heating element that can ignite sugar if the included sugar receptacle is not used; although 12 incidents of sparking or fire were reported, no injuries have occurred. The recalled cotton candy makers come in red or teal, have model number 836098 and date code 08/2024, and consumers are urged to stop using them immediately and return them for a full refund or contact the manufacturer. Additionally, Fine Food WA's crunchy brown rice salad was recalled due to potential Listeria contamination, which can cause severe illness in vulnerable populations. These recalls highlight the importance of consumer vigilance regarding food safety and product hazards.
