In kitchens across America, a hidden danger lurked in an unexpected place – the family’s favorite snack, applesauce. When reports surfaced about dangerous lead levels in a popular brand, it sent shockwaves through communities.
As parents, we trust these products to be safe for our children, but what happens when that trust is broken?
At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Perrini, III, we understand how scary it can be to learn you have eaten or fed your child something potentially harmful. Our experienced

The Discovery of a Health Hazard
The discovery of lead in applesauce was more than just a product recall; it was a wake-up call about the safety of consumer goods.
Lead poisoning, especially in children, can lead to devastating health consequences, including developmental delays and neurological damage. For adults, the effects can range from high blood pressure to kidney damage.
The Recommendation from the FDA
If you bought applesauce products affected by these recalls, you should do one of two things:
- Take them back to the store where they were purchased for a refund.
- Throw them away.
Individuals with toddlers and young children who may have eaten this applesauce and been exposed to lead need to seek medical evaluation immediately. Along with receiving treatment for the potential lead poisoning, medical documentation is helpful when pursuing compensation.
The best way to determine if you or your child was exposed to lead is by having your blood tested. While lead is toxic to everyone, it is particularly harmful to children as it can damage their brains and cause developmental issues.
