The products were sold between May 6 and 21 and were distributed in Massachusetts, Vermont, Washington D.C., Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, West Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and North Carolina.

Anyone who has purchased one of the recalled products should throw them away rather than returning them.
