The brief
A surprise recall has hit Halloween candy sold at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, with the “Chocolatey Eyeballs” treats being withdrawn in 13 states, including Ohio. The product, a 10.5‑ounce round plastic jar of Little Temptations Chocolatey Eyeballs, was marketed as a “Sweet Scary Treat.” The recall stems from an FDA alert that Crystal Temptations, the manufacturer, failed to list milk as an ingredient. The agency’s notice triggered a voluntary pull of the candy in August 2026.
FOX 8 News reported the multi‑state action, while Yahoo and WRNJ Radio highlighted the undeclared milk allergen as the specific risk. Reporting varies on the breadth of the issue. FOX 8 News focused on the geographic spread, naming Ohio, while The Lufkin Daily News detailed the product size and packaging.
No outlet has published a complete list of all affected retailers beyond the three chains mentioned, and coverage does not confirm whether other Crystal Temptations products are involved. It remains unclear how many consumers purchased the candy before the recall was issued.
