The FDA warned consumers not to buy or serve Once Upon A Farm Tractor Wheels Organic, Toddler Soft-Baked Bars after reports that children ages 1.5 to 2.5 years choked on the product. The Once Upon a Farm tractor wheels recall warning covers every flavor, quantity, lot and date.
The agency received several reports describing complete airway obstruction after the bars were consumed. Some of those incidents needed emergency response intervention and hospital observation, and the FDA told the firm to recall the product.

The warning applies to a product sold nationwide online and in stores including Costco, Target and Walmart. It also may appear through Amazon.com and other third-party vendors, which broadens the number of households that could still have it on hand.
The FDA also said the product can form a dry, sticky mass when chewed. That creates a problem for standard choking responses: back blows and the Heimlich maneuver may fail to dislodge it once it has been swallowed.
Target and Walmart
Consumers who have any flavor of Once Upon A Farm Tractor Wheels Organic, Toddler Soft-Baked Bars should throw it away immediately. The warning is not limited to one lot or one retailer, so shoppers who bought the bars through Target and Walmart, or through Costco or online, need to check what they have before serving it again.
The remaining open issue is whether Once Upon A Farm has already announced a recall after the FDA recommended one. Until that is stated, the practical step for households is the same: do not buy or serve the bars, and discard any package already at home.
