00:00An urgent FDA recall is shaking up grocery shelves across America.
00:04Parashore pear slices in juice, sold in 15 ounces cans, have been pulled due to dangerous contamination.
00:10These canned pears may contain lead and cadmium, heavy metals linked to autism and even cancer.
00:16The recall impacts grocery outlet stores in several states.
00:20But here's the real shocker.
00:22Many people may not even notice the symptoms, especially in kids.
00:26The contamination was flagged by the Maryland Department of Health during routine testing.
00:31The metals likely leached from damaged can linings or corroded materials.
00:35Lead and cadmium exposure isn't just a minor concern.
00:39In kids, it's tied to learning disabilities, behavioral issues, and lower IQ.
00:44In adults, it can damage kidneys, increase cancer risk, and affect fertility.
00:49And the FDA says there's no safe level of lead in our food.
00:53If you bought these pears, stop now.
00:55Return them or toss them.
00:57Do not take chances with your health.
