Hot Cocoa Recall

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Three cocoa products packaged for Christmas
sale are being recalled because they may contain the industrial
chemical melamine.

Wisconsin authorities say the products -- G&J -- are sold
nationwide at Shopko and Big Lots stores.

They include G&J Hot Cocoa Stuffer, G&J His and Hers Hot Cocoa
Set and G&J Cocoa in French vanilla and double chocolate flavors.
No illnesses from consuming the products have been reported so far,
but a few samples tested positive for melamine.

Consumers should return the products to the store where they
bought them for a refund.

Increasingly, teenagers and younger adults receive these implants, people who may be more active and fit but have some underlying heart abnormality that puts them at risk of an arrhythmia.
