While the affected items have been removed from shelves, Tillamook and Costco have raised concerns that customers could potentially still have it in their possession. If this happens to be you, they are urging you to refrain from consuming it and to return it to your local Costco for a full refund. If, however, you have consumed the product, no action needs to be taken, as "the likely presence of the foreign plastic material is very minimal," according to the recall.
