The recalled items, sold under the Spring & Mulberry brand, include: Earl Grey (lot code(s) #025258), Lavender Rose (lot code(s) #025259, #025260), Mango Chili (lot code(s) #025283), Mint Leaf (lot code(s) #025255), Mixed Berry (lot code(s) #025275, #025281, #025337), Mulberry Fennel (lot code(s) #025345), Pacan Date (lot code(s) #025261, #025265, #025267, #025268, #025339, #025343) and Pure Dark Minis (lot code(s) #025273). These products have been sold online and at select U.S. retailers since Sept. 15, 2025; the lot code is printed on the back of the package and on the inner flow wrap.
