Truth-in-advertising recall of the year.

From the FDA:

Candy Dynamics Recalls Toxic Waste® brand Nuclear Sludge® Chew Bars all flavors – Net wt. 0.7 oz (20 g) package

<snip>

A recent test performed by the California Department of Public Health has indicated that a lot (#8288A) of the cherry flavor of the above-listed product contains elevated levels of lead (0.24 parts per million; the U.S. FDA tolerance is 0.1 ppm) that potentially could cause health problems, particularly for infants, small children, and pregnant women.

It’s made in Pakistan.

Toxic waste, indeed.

Oh boy. Can you imagine the discussions? “Well, it says right on the package - “Nuclear Sludge.” What did you think you were getting?”

Toxic Waste brand - taking Plausible Deniability to breathtaking new heights!

Oh boy. Can you imagine the discussions? “Well, it says right on the package - “Nuclear Sludge.” What did you think you were getting?”

I’d be expecting something radioactive, preferably with significant amounts of uranium or plutonium. I can’t use lead to fuel my nuclear reactor!

Monty Python already covered this.
