Company recalls over 1.7 million eggs due to potential salmonella risk, affecting nine states.

A California-based company has voluntarily recalled over 1.7 million eggs sold in nine states due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall is a precautionary measure to prevent any outbreak similar to the one that recently hospitalized more than 20 people. Customers are advised to check the packaging for the affected lot codes and to discard or return the eggs if they are part of the recall.
