The recall is specifically for the 29-ounce plastic bags of the product officially called Fully Cooked Fun Nuggets Breaded Shaped Chicken Patties, the FSIS said in a release.

Approximately 29,819 pounds of the Fun Nuggets are impacted, according to the release.

The contaminated nuggets were made on Sept. 5, according to the release, and were shipped across the U.S. to distributors in Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

There was one “minor oral injury,” the FSIS said, but no other reports of injuries or illnesses have been reported as a result of eating the nuggets.

The FSIS is urging anyone who might be keeping a bag of the Fun Nuggets in the freezer to throw them out and to avoid eating them. The bags of nuggets can also be returned to the place of purchase, the FSIS said.

A little more to note:

The laborers were turned away from TWO law enforcement centers while trying to report it. *Shakes head*:

Highlights include:

"The medical staff cut his toe open with a scalpel and a milk-like pus came out.

The pus looked like it contained tea leaves, which turned out to be spider eggs."

And:
Mr Blake said: "One of the spider eggs hadn't been flushed and must have hatched.

"They believe the spider was making its way out - eating its way out of my toe."
