Recall Insight

This FDA Food action (record #F-1383-2023) was formally reported on August 16, 2023, with the manufacturer initiating the action on June 23, 2023. It is classified under Critical severity (Class I), with a current status of Completed. Estancia Holdings is listed as the recalling firm, operating out of Cumming, GA. Federal records indicate 1cs/2/3kg wheels =13.5 lbs units are affected, a scale large enough to require multi-state distribution tracking.

The documented reason for this recall is: Possible microbiological contamination, specifically Listeria monocytogenes. Distribution data in the federal record shows the product reached: Product was shipped to one customer in Oregon. Sole consignee was notified; therefore, press was not issued.. Distribution scope directly affects the consumer exposure window and determines whether a recall remains regional or escalates into a nationwide advisory.

To put this record in context, PlainRecalls indexes 83,949 recalls across the FDA, CPSC, NHTSA and USDA FSIS going back to 1995. Within the same product category, the database holds 6 closely related recalls, of which 6 were also issued by FDA Food. That clustering is a signal — repeated actions in a narrow category often indicate a systemic quality-control issue, a supplier-wide contamination, or a design defect that has propagated across product lines. This recall is roughly 3 years old; older recalls can remain relevant because many units enter resale, rental, and secondary-market channels where the original warning never reaches the end user. Always cross-check the recall number against the official agency page before relying on any summary.
