Nestlé Canada Voluntarily Recalls Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter and Kit Kat Chunky Hazelnut Bars

TORONTO, March 22, 2013 /CNW/ - With an abundance of caution, Nestlé Canada is voluntarily recalling Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter and Kit Kat Chunky Hazelnut bars. The recall affects only the 48g size bars of these two limited edition Kit Kat Chunky products.  No other Kit Kat product is affected.

KIT KAT CHUNKY Hazelnut 48g	0-59800-49929-3
KIT KAT CHUNKY Variety 3CT Multipack	0-59800-49972-9

The recall is due to the potential that the Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter and Kit Kat Chunky Hazelnut may contain small pieces of plastic. There have been no consumer complaints in Canada. Nestlé Canada is voluntarily conducting this recall due to seven consumer complaints in Europe.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has been informed about Nestlé's decision to recall the product.  Customers have been advised to remove affected product from shelves.

Consumers are advised to discard their Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter and Kit Kat Chunky Hazelnut bars and call Nestlé Canada for reimbursement at 1-800-387-4636 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST).  On Friday, March 22, consumer service hours have been extended to 10:00 p.m. EST and on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24, consumers can call between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. EST.
