After receiving several reports of customers finding metal objects in their tobacco cans, tobacco giant Altria is recalling several of its most popular brands. Altria Groups U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Co. unit announced this week the recall of an unspecified number of cans of dozens of brands, including Copenhagen, Cope, and Skoal. The recall was initiated after USSTC received eight complaints from customers from Indiana, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Ohio that cans of the tobacco included visible, sharp fragments of metal.
