Melamine Fears Lead To Hot Cocoa Recall

Three cocoa products packaged for Christmas sale are being recalled because they may contain the industrial chemical melamine.

Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection authorities said the products -- G&J -- are sold nationwide at Shopko and Big Lots stores.

The list includes:

G&J Hot Cocoa Stuffer Item 120144 (UPC 061361201444). This hot cocoa product was sold in small green and blue boxes with a backer card, candy cane and marshmallows.

G&J His and Hers Hot Cocoa Set Item 120129 (UPC 489702201296). This cocoa product was sold with 2 ceramic mugs in a brown box.

G&J Cocoa item 120126, sold in two flavors:

1. G&J French Vanilla Cocoa (UPC 061361201260). This product was sold in a small green bag with a whisk attached.
2. G&J Double Chocolate Cocoa (UPC 061361201260). This product was sold in a small pink bag with a whisk attached.

No illnesses from consuming the products have been reported so far, but a few samples tested positive for melamine.

The products were voluntarily recalled by the Canadian company Dorsey Marketing Inc.

Consumers should return the products to the store where they bought them for a refund.
