If you're a Costco shopper, you may want to double-check your pantry and kitchen.
As reported by EatingWell, several recent product recalls have been issued for canned tuna, cold and flu medicine, and even coolers, all due to potential safety risks.
Canned Tuna Recalled
A manufacturing defect has led to the recall of multiple brands of canned tuna, including Genova’s 7-ounce Yellowfin Tuna in Olive Oil.
The affected six-packs were sold at Costco warehouses in Florida and Georgia and have the UPC code 4800063267 with best-by dates of 1/21/2028, 1/23/2028, or 1/27/2028.
The defect may have compromised the cans' seals, allowing bacteria like Clostridium botulinum to grow.
This could lead to botulism, a dangerous foodborne illness with symptoms including muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, blurred vision, and breathing problems.
If you have this product at home, return it to Costco or dispose of it immediately.

Igloo Cooler Recall After Fingertip Amputations
Over one million Igloo 90-quart Flip & Tow Rolling Coolers—sold at Costco, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and other major retailers—have been recalled due to safety hazards.
