IKEA want customers who have purchased an IKEA FOOD labeled jar of marinated herring with a Best Before Date 13-02-2008 or earlier to return it to their local IKEA store for a full refund.
Less than 200 of jars of marinated herring with a Best Before Date 13-02-2008 or earlier have been sold in Canada. There have been no reports of glass or injury in Canada. These products have been sold only in the following locations in Canada: Burlington, Edmonton, North York, Boucherville and Etobicoke.
IKEA has received two reports where customers have found a large piece of glass in IKEA FOOD labeled jars of marinated herring. To our knowledge no one has been hurt. These reports were not in Canada.
Safety is always a priority at IKEA, and as a precautionary measure IKEA is recalling IKEA FOOD labeled jars of marinated herring with a Best Before Date 13-02-2008 or earlier. The Best Before Date (DD-MM-YYYY) is to be found on the label directly above the bar code.
IKEA FOOD labeled marinated herring is sold at the Swedish Food Markets at IKEA stores. Only IKEA FOOD labeled jars of marinated herring with a Best Before Date 13-02-2008 or earlier are involved in the recall ? no other jars of marinated herring sold at IKEA stores are affected.
