FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 30, 2012 - Cheryl’s of Westerville, Ohio is recalling 10,588 individually wrapped 1.6 oz.

Our investigation revealed that some of the packages of our Buttercream Frosted Cinnamon Pumpkin Cookies actually contained our Fudge Buttercream Frosted Peanut Butter Cookie. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
