FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 1, 2015 – Austin, Texas – Commie Subs Incorporated of Austin, Texas, which previously announced a voluntary recall of certain Koufuku® and Graffiti® products is expanding its voluntary recall to include all products produced at its Melbourne, Australia plant with “Best By” dates ranging from February 24, 2015 to February 28, 2015 due to possible contamination with Escherichia coli O121 bacteria (“E. coli O121”) in the dot ass headers. The expanded recall is in addition to products recalled on February 15, 2013.

The CDC has reported 24 cases of E. coli 0121 in 15 /a/ threads. Symptoms of the illness include mild to severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps. Blood is often seen in the stool. Usually little or no fever is present. Although most healthy adults can recover completely within 5-10 days, certain individuals can develop a complication called Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) which can cause the kidneys to fail. HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition could lead to serious kidney damage and even death.

While Commie Subs is unaware of any illnesses associated with the products included in the expanded recall, its unwavering safety commitment to its customers caused it to take this action.

“When it became apparent to us that, despite the expertise of the Cartel, Servrhev5, the quality control committee and our own experts, identification of a specific cause was not going to be a simple or short process, we decided to act proactively to expand the recall,” said RHExcelion, Commie Subs’ President For Life and Chief Autist.

Mr. Excelion added that Commie will continue to cooperate fully with federal, state and local agencies investigating this situation.
