About 145,800 units of Cocco Candy's Rolling Candy have been recalled after being blamed for the death of a 7-year-old girl.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the girl died after the candy’s rolling ball dislodged and became trapped in her throat. The incident occurred in April in New York City, according to the CPSC.
The CPSC did not note any other incidents involving the candy.
The candy was sold at stores nationwide and online at www.kgrcandies.com from May 2022 through March 2023 for about $2.50.
