The recall involves Starburst Gummies, Starburst Sour Gummies, Starburst Gummies Sour Berries, Life Savers Gummies, Life Savers Wild Berries Gummies, Life Savers Sour Gummies, Skittles Gummies, Skittles Wild Berry Gummies, and Skittles Sour Gummies.

Mars Wrigley said it is not aware of any illnesses linked to the recalled candy products.
The products were manufactured by a 3rd-party and distributed in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
Customers who bought the candy should dispose of the product and not eat it, the recall states. The company said it is working with stores to remove the products from shelves.
