More than 2 Million Sour Candy Bottles Recalled over Choking Hazard, Safety Regulators Say
The company said no injuries have been reported and told consumers to stop using the candy and seek a refund.
On Wednesday, The Ricky Joy Company recalled roughly 2.3 million Sour Crush Rolling Liquid Candy Bottles after federal safety officials warned the rollerball top could detach, posing a serious choking hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the notice, warning that a detachable part could cause serious injury or death, though The CPSC reported no actual incidents to date.
Sold from January 2023 through May 2026, the 1.85 fluid ounce products were available at retailers including Walmart, H-E-B, Forman Mills, and online through CandyFunHouse and RickyJoy.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled candy and contact The Ricky Joy Company for a refund; the manufacturer will provide prepaid shipping labels for returns.
Anyone with questions can contact The Ricky Joy Company at 404-975-0352 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit the company's recall website.
