Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin is alerting consumers with an allergy or sensitivity to pecans about the recall of some boxes of a product from Harry and David.

Harry and David, of Medford, Oregon, is voluntarily recalling approximately 400 1-lb. 4-oz. boxes labeled Harry & David Moose Munch Confection Milk Chocolate Gingerbread because the package may contain a different product which contains pecans not listed on the ingredient statement. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to pecans run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.

Affected product was distributed throughout the United States under the Harry & David brand only in Harry and David stores.

The recalled product has a "Best if used by" date of 06/28/09 located on a sticker on the bottom of the box. The box also has the stock identifying number RSD142014 printed on the bottom. This lot of product was sold beginning 10/09/08. The popcorn based confection is packaged in brown and white paperboard boxes. The boxes have a slight wedge shape and feature a large white moose image on the front. Inside the boxes are clear plastic bags of the confection.

This problem was discovered on October 21 and occurred because Dark Chocolate Butter Pecan Moose MunchR Confection was inadvertently packed in a Milk Chocolate Gingerbread outer box. It is estimated that fewer than 60 such boxes were produced.

Consumers with the product may return it to any Harry and David retail store for a full refund. Consumers with questions may phone Harry and David Customer Service at 1-800- 233-1101.
