Wal-Mart sells trail mix containing broken glass (a blast from the past)

We've had this story on the backburner since early this year, but most of the media never brang it to the fore like they should have - even after Wal-Mart was caught putting phony barcode labels on recalled cat food - so we need to bring it forward and keep it there.

Several Wal-Mart customers found shards of glass and plastic in store brand trail mix that they buyed there - thus forcing a recall of the product. The trail mix originally came from an Ann's House of Nuts plant in North Carolina, but as we've pointed out before, Wal-Mart does have a hand in the manufacture of its brands.

Stuff like this seems to happen a lot with Wal-Fart, doesn' t it? I wonder why anyone still shops there - but then again, Wal-Mart's predatory ways have netted it a monopoly in some communities, so it's not like people have a choice.

  1. Also note the factory is in a non-union state (NC)....as is Wal-Mart itself (AR).

    These states are the China of America as far as organizing workers is concerned.
