Commissary officials are advising parents to stop using the following two Gerber products because they might contain lumps of cereal that do not dissolve in water or milk: Gerber Organic Rice: UPC Code 15000 12504; and Gerber Organic Oatmeal: UPC Code 15000 12502. Customers can return the products to commissaries for a full refund, or can call the Gerber Parents Resource Center at (800) 443-7237 or (231) 928-3000 to arrange for a refund. In addition, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) has recalled 13,200 “Soldier Bear” toy sets with action figures and animals that contain high levels of lead.
