More chicken salad and ham sandwiches are being recalled after a broader recall over listeria concerns.
Lipari Foods is recalling its Premo Ham & Cheese wedge sandwiches and Fresh Grab Ham & Cheese wedge sandwiches over possible listeria contamination. The products were distributed by Lipari Foods to food service and retail stores in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio and other states. Lipari began shipping the items on Sept. 25.
The affected products include the wheat sandwiches with a best by date of Oct. 17 and UPC code 612510002001.
This is part of an expanded recall from Oct. 2 to include more sandwiches produced by JLM Manufacturing. No illnesses have been reported to date in relation to this recall.
Jumbo Foods Inc. also issued a recall for its Tuscan Sun brand chicken salad sandwiches, but none of those products were shipped to Pennsylvania. Those went to retail stores in other states, including Virginia and North Carolina.

Another food recall was due to the wrong packaging of a product, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Fisherman’s Pride Processors Inc. is recalling 100 bags of Schwan’s brand Garlic Herb Shrimp because they have Schwan’s Shrimp Scampi in the packaging, which poses a threat of allergic reaction to those with allergies to milk and soy. The product may have been distributed to the lower 48 states through Schwan’s home delivery network.
The recalled product was sold in 1-pound bags and has a UPC code of 052008. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the Garlic Herb Shrimp was found in cases labeled Schwan’s Shrimp Scampi, and subsequent packages were found to have the shrimp scampi.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission also announced a number of recalls including a heat pump that can overheat, posing a fire hazard.
The affected heat pumps are Carrier and Bryant brands of 1.5-ton multizone, 4-ton multizone and 4-ton single-zone ductless heat pumps. For model and product numbers, check out the commission’s website at www.cpsc.gov.

The heat pumps were sold at Carrier and Bryan distributors, independent dealers and contractors nationwide from March 2015 to April 2019.
Consumers should immediately contact their installer, dealer or contractor to arrange for a free repair. While awaiting repair, consumers should monitor affected units while they are in use and keep foliage and other flammable items at least 2 feet away from the recalled units, according to the commission.
A fire hazard is also the reason for another recall from Kawasaki.
The company is recalling its lawn mower engines because the fuel injector can leak excessive amounts of fuel into the engine, posing a burn and fire hazard.

No incidents were reported, and the engines and mowers were sold at Kawasaki dealers and lawn and garden stores nationwide from June 2017 to August 2019.

The product was sold at Walmart, Ace Hardware and other stores nationwide and online at Zippo and Amazon from February 2010 to July 2019.
