That's worrying. I've never heard of the name but I wonder if it's called something else as well... will investigate.
Thanks for the alert, Mary Ann.

Thanks... I Googled the name. They are available from Amazon so although I don't think they're one of the best-known brands, they are clearly readily available so I hope the recall message gets out there.
