A recall has been issued for Little Temptations Chocolatey Eyeballs Sweet Scary Treats, a popular Halloween candy. The recall affects a 10.5-ounce round plastic jar of the candy, which was sold in 13 states, including Ohio, Indiana, and Massachusetts. The recall was initiated due to the presence of undeclared milk, an allergen that poses a risk to individuals with milk allergies. The recall was announced by the manufacturer, Crystal Temptations, in August 2026. The candy was sold at major retail stores including Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised consumers to destroy the product.

The FDA's involvement underscores the seriousness of the allergen risk. The recall has sparked widespread attention, with outlets like The Hill, WKRC, and NewsNation focusing on the states affected. The Hill and WKRC both mention Ohio and Indiana specifically. NewsNation, KTVU, and WRNJ Radio emphasize the allergen risk, with NewsNation and WRNJ Radio specifying that the undeclared allergen is milk. The Lufkin Daily News and Yahoo provide detailed information about the specific product being recalled. The recall has led to consumer alerts in various states.

USA Today and FOX 8 News both mention the recall affecting multiple states, including Ohio. Parade.com, Bronx News12, and WRNJ Radio specify the retail stores where the candy was sold. The recall's impact on Halloween preparations is unclear. The extent of the recall's reach beyond the 13 states mentioned is also unknown. The FDA's instructions for consumers who have purchased the candy are clear: destroy the product. However, the recall's broader implications for Halloween candy sales and consumer trust in the manufacturer remain to be seen.
