Campbell Soup Recall Due To Plastic Inside

Food and baby products have been in recall very frequently recently. Every day one opens the internet or TV there is one kind of recall. Now it's Campbell, which announced Campbell soup recall due to hard plastic inside the soup cans. I don't know where these products are made, but I am worried about the low quality products (that are designed to increase profitability) that hit the US consumer markets.

Campbell's announcement about the soup recall

Campbell Soup Company (NYSE: CPB) is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of 18.8 ounce cans of "Campbell's Chunky" Baked Potato with Cheddar & Bacon Bits because they may contain pieces of hard plastic that present a choking hazard and may cause injury if swallowed.
