Mars Wrigley Confectionary has announced a voluntary recall of several of its candies due to reports of thin metal strands being found inside bags in recent weeks.
According to the company, a recall has been issued on specific varieties of Skittles Gummies, Starburst Gummies and Life Savers Gummies.
