Recall: Clam chowder sold at Costco may contain sharp plastic pieces

The problem was discovered Sunday when a consumer found a piece of plastic in the container and notified Ivar’s. No injuries were reported. The piece of plastic found by the consumer is in the shape of a half circle with some of the center missing, with edges that are sharp and pointed. The diameter of the circle is approximately 1½ inches. It is possible that the remainder of the circular plastic is a similarly intact piece or numerous smaller pieces, according to the company announcement.

Consumers with the soups should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Anyone with questions can contact Ivar’s 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. pacific time Monday through Friday at 425-493-1402.
