Bags of candy were yanked from shelves at the popular Lee Lee Oriental Supermarkets in Chandler and Peoria last week over fears that in may be contaminated with a dangerous chemical.
Lee Lee owner, Meng Truong, said he was warned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the possible danger posed by White Rabbit Candy.
The recall was announced by California-based Queensway Foods Company on Friday after the candy tested positive for traces of melamine, the same chemical found in infant formula in China that’s been blamed for the deaths of four babies.
Melamine is a chemecal used in plastics manufacturing.

As a long time customer of the Chandler Lee Lee market, I have found the staff is friendly and courteous. I hope the recall wasn’t so urgent that they had to “yank” the bags from the shelves. Usually their stocking and removal of items is done with a calmer, more routine technique.
