Which Tractor Wheels are included

Per FDA: Once Upon A Farm Tractor Wheels, Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars — all flavors, quantities, and varieties, including all lot codes and expiration dates.

Per the firm press, recalled flavors are named as:

  • Apple, Sweet Potato, & Spinach Tractor Wheels
  • Strawberry, Pumpkin, & Beet Tractor Wheels
  • Banana, Pumpkin & Cauliflower Tractor Wheels

No other Once Upon a Farm products are impacted by this recall (firm press).

Choking hazard (FDA wording)

FDA has received several reports that describe toddlers (ages about 1.5–2.5 years) suffering complete airway obstruction after consuming the product. When chewed, the product reportedly forms a dry, sticky mass that standard choking interventions — including back blows and the Heimlich maneuver — may fail to dislodge. Some reported incidents required emergency response and hospital observation.

The firm says the recall decision was based on three consumer complaints and that it is working with FDA. This page is not medical advice. If someone is choking and first-aid measures fail, call 9-1-1 (FDA).

What to do

  1. Do not buy or serve Tractor Wheels (FDA).
  2. Throw the product away immediately (FDA). The firm separately says do not open the package or use the contents.
  3. For a refund, the firm says return the product to the location of purchase for a full refund, or contact [email protected].
  4. Retailers should not sell the product (FDA).

FDA and the firm word the dispose-vs-return path slightly differently; this page shows both. It does not invent a receipt rule.
