Several products, including eggs, fruit, juice, children's toys, high chairs and other products were recalled in recent weeks.

Below is a roundup of recent major recalls from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Eggs Linked To Salmonella Recalled

A company is recalling eggs sold in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan that have sickened dozens in a multi-state Salmonella outbreak, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Friday.

In the recall, Wisconsin-based Milo’s Poultry Farms said it was recalling all Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market-branded eggs after the FDA informed the company that environmental samples tested positive for Salmonella bacteria.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the eggs are linked to a Salmonella outbreak that has sickened 65 people in nine states including Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Utah and Virginia.

At least 24 people have been hospitalized, officials said. No deaths have been reported.

On Monday, Florida-based Refresco Beverages Inc. issued a voluntary recall of 133,500 cases of apple juice after the products were found to contain inorganic arsenic slightly above U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommended levels.

The expanded recall came just weeks after Walmart pulled more than 9,500 cases of apple juice from its shelves after it tested positive for elevated arsenic levels. The newest recall lists various brands including Market Basket, Nice!, Wellsley Farms, Urban Meadow, Nature's Nectar, Weis and Clover Valley apple juice.
