YoCrunch Recall Lawsuit Overview
On July 14, 2025, Danone U.S. and the FDA issued a voluntary recall of all in‑market YoCrunch yogurt products after consumer reports revealed the presence of sharp plastic fragments—ranging from 7 to 25 mm—in the dome toppers that contain mix‑ins like Oreo, M&M’s, granola, Snickers, and Twix.
These plastic pieces pose a choking hazard and risk causing mouth injuries, dental damage, or lacerations to consumers, especially children.

Design Defect & Hazard Analysis
The dome toppers were contaminated with clear plastic fragments, indicating a lapse in Danone’s quality-control and packaging protocols. These sharp foreign objects can lodge in the throat, mouth, or airway, leading to choking, dental damage, lacerations, and potential infections.
This defect supports legal claims under negligence, manufacturing defect, failure to warn, and breach of implied warranty.
Injuries & Side Effects
- Choking hazard: Fragments up to 25 mm could block airways, particularly in children.
- Oral injuries: Cuts or lacerations in the mouth, throat, or esophagus.
