Gerber Products Company announced a voluntary recall on January 26, 2026, for select batches of its Arrowroot Biscuits, a popular teething snack for infants, due to the potential presence of soft plastic or paper pieces that could pose a choking hazard. The affected products, packaged in 5.5-ounce containers and marketed for babies over 10 months old, were produced in the United States between July and September 2025 and sold nationwide as well as in Canada and other countries.
