FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - March 3, 2011 – Teavana Corporation today announced
a voluntary recall of 2,659 lbs of Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea produced
by Aromatics Inc., Basin City, WA, because it has the potential to be
contaminated with Salmonella. Aromatics Inc. exclusively produces and
distributes Teavana’s Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea. The recall was as the
result of a batch sample testing program by the Company after it received a
notification of possible contamination by the vendor, which revealed that
the finished products contained the bacteria. The Company has ceased the
production and distribution of the product as the FDA and the Company
continue their investigation as to the origin of the contamination.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal
infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with
weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often
experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and
abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result
in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe
illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms),
endocarditis, and arthritis. For more information on Salmonella, please
visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Web site at http://www.cdc.gov1 or call 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636).
The Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea was distributed nationwide in Teavana
retail stores and through mail and internet orders. The Peppermint Organic
Herbal Tea is sold measured to customer’s orders in retail stores and sold
in 2 oz pre-packaged pouches by mail order or internet. There are no lot/
batch identifying markings on the store or ecommerce packaging. Retail store
stock was sold between December 4, 2010 and February 16, 2011. Mail order &
internet stock was sold between November 30, 2010 and February 16, 2011.
While no illness related to this voluntary recall has been reported to date,
any potential health risk is significantly reduced when following the
printed brewing instructions on the package or available online.
Consumers who have purchased Peppermint Organic Herbal Tea are urged to
return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers may also
contact Teavana Customer Service at 1-877-832-8262 (M – F from 8.30 A.M.
until 6:00 P.M., EST) for instructions on how to return the product. | F***9
