The houses we grew up in had A/C and I never understood why s it was almost never used

Not that many years ago A/C's did not operate very economically. That was one of the reasons that they weren't used much. Also the self imposed idea that folks convinced themselves that they didn't like that "artificial" air coming from the magic box and it was bad for you.

Peanut Butter is a staple in my house. I am as reliant on it as some, who's name shall not be mentioned, are on coffee. If any of my grandkids had been allergic I would have had to disown them. Just kidding (I think)

This morning, I read a complete updated list (in the FDA link below -- scroll down for the detailed chart of ALL the recalled ones). YIKES.

It appears as though the issue was in the Lexington, Kentucky plant. Of course, I have 2 jars of Jif at home (one is a No Sugar one, and the other is one of their "natural" ones). Both jars have been open a few weeks (I alternate between the two), and I haven't died (yet). Double checked all the numbers again with the chart. (Side note: how would a person return a jar to the grocery store, if you had one on recall? I certainly don't keep grocery receipts, and sometimes I also buy at Target as well. ) Not sure how that would work, especially if the jar is open?

None of us had an issue with it was artificial or bad for you. I think it was more to do with none of us liked the way too cold air they produced.;)

If an item has been opened it can be returned to the store for a full refund even if mostly used. We have receipts sent to our phones and I keep paper ones in a folder. Target will look up your receipts when you bring in a recalled item if you use a red card. Dh was able to take care of his Jif online as that was how he ordered it from Sam's. I'm almost certain he just had to send pics of the item and order #

When a mass recall is announced and the jars are identified with those production numbers you don't need a receipt to turn them in for a refund. The stores involved already have been notified of the recall. Besides would you want to go to a store that didn't care if you get sick from eating contaminated food from them? Anyway, that is an awful lot of product to be contaminated and it is listed as suspected. If you haven't gotten sick from eating it it probably isn't contaminated, but why take the chance. It is probably going to be the next big shortage now far surpassing the baby formula thing.

Oh, I'd definitely pitch the jars if they were listed in the recall. I was just curious if there would be any hesitancy on any store's part , to give you back your money -- if you didn't have any sort of receipt. And I haven't exactly been thrilled with customer service in any of the group of stores I shop at.

I don't think they'd hesitate...it's not the store that's out the money. They are going to send that item back to the manufacturer and get reimbursed themselves for the jars that they sent back. At least I assume it works the same way there as it does here. Where I work, if a customer sends back a pair of jeans they bought, and the button is loose, or there's a hole in the seam, or whatever the issue is, we return it to the supplier. We buy the items from them to sell to our customers...if THEY sell us damaged merch, it's not our fault and we shouldn't have to pay for that. So it goes back and we get refunded and refund our customer. It all evens out.

Very good explanation. Thank you for that.
