" The recall now covers two years’ production at the company’s Augusta, Ga., plant _ a tally that spirals into the tens of millions of cans.

Spot checks by the Food and Drug Administration and state officials continue to turn up recalled products for sale in convenience stores, gas stations and family run groceries, from Florida to Alaska. The FDA alone has found them in roughly 250 of the more than 3,700 stores visited in nationwide checks, according to figures the agency provided to The Associated Press.

In states like North Carolina, more than one in three stores checked by state officials in recent days were still offering recalled products for sale. Officials there pulled 5,500 cans and pledged to keep searching.
...
The bacteria also produce gases that can cause contaminated cans to swell and burst. Already, cans being held in a company warehouse have begun to break open. Health officials say the extremely potent toxin can infect people if it is inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the eye or breaks in the skin.
...
Castleberry’s has hired a company to collect the recalled products from stores. It has posted a complete list of the recalled products, including some dog foods, on its Web site _ http://www.castleberrys.com/

People who have any of the recalled products at home should double-bag and throw them away, the FDA recommends.

Castleberry’s is owned by Bumble Bee Seafoods LLC, based in San Diego."

I know we have purchased Meijer Hot Dog Chili in the past 2 years, on a couple of different occasions. One evening, after eating the Chili dogs, my hubby and I BOTH ended up with diarrhea, and we only have one bathroom. Both of us got over it by the next day.

We didn't end up finishing the can.
