After customers found bone in their chicken bites, Overhill Farms has recalled more than 54,630 pounds of frozen chicken products made for toddlers.

There haven't been any reports of injuries or anyone getting sick from the recalled chicken, but the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) classified the toddler food as a "high" health risk.

The recall affects 3-oz. boxes of Yummy Spoonfuls (including the brand's chicken carrot bites, chicken sweet potato bites, and chicken broccoli bites), bulk cases of chicken and vegetable patties (including chicken patties with broccoli, patties with cauliflower, and with sweet potato, quinoa, and peas).

All the recalled products have establishment numbers inside the USDA mark of inspection. Packages with “P2824,” “P6009” or “P44058” are recalled. For a full list of affected products and expiration dates, check the FSIS recall notice.

If you have some of these bites in your freezer, don't eat them. FSIS urges consumers to throw the chicken away or return them to the place of purchase. Customers can also contact Overhill Farms at (844)-986-6948 with any other questions.

Recall Alert: Britax Car Seat

Britax Car Seat Recall: Chest Clip Choking Hazard

The chest clip on some Britax car seats can break and pose a choking hazard. The company is recalling more than 200,000 of its B-Safe seats' clips for this reason.

The chest clip on some Britax car seats may pose a choking hazard for young children. For this reason, the company has issued a recall of dozens of models of its B-Safe car seats' clips, including more than 200,000 affected seats in total.

Recalled clips include the ones on B-Safe 35, B-Safe 35 Elite, BOB B-Safe 35 infant seats, and accompanying travel systems, all manufactured between November 2015 and May 2017. The full list of model numbers can be found on the company's recall site.

Britax has a fix: a kit to replace the dangerous chest clip. Customers who registered their carseats with Britax previously will automatically be sent the kit but if you have an unregistered affected car seat, you can contact Britax to get the safe clip. Either call 1-833-474-7016 or email Stroller.Recall@britax.com.

The replacement clip is more durable and less likely to come apart, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's recall report. Once you get your replacement kit, the old hazardous clip will have "ABS" printed on it, while the new safe clip will have "PC."

Recall Alert: Child Safety Gates Recalled for Strangulation Hazard

Child Safety Gates Recalled for Strangulation Hazard

Madison Mill is recalling its foldaway expandable baby gates because they are ineffective and pose a strangulation danger for young children.
