Kellogg's says that no injuries have been reported. But, does anyone know what the symptoms would be for someone who swallowed metal fragments?
ReplyDeleteI don't even think it's worth looking at the upc labels or calling Kellog's just throw out your boxes of mini wheats to be safe. Who has time to get a refund? I don't eat sugar cereal and neither does the family I work for so we are safe.
