Blue Ribbon ice cream tubs recalled over plastic pieces

Unilever has recalled 1.25 and two-litre Blue Ribbon ice cream tubs sold across Australia due to cases of plastic pieces causing injury risks.

Affected products have a best before date between April 28, 2017 and April 27, 2018 and shouldn't be eaten, the company said in a statement on Wednesday night.

The recall is a "precautionary measure" and tubs with a best before date from April 28, 2018 are not affected, the statement said.

Products can be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
