Facebook - Warning message

This morning, when i was surfing the facebook and i saw

URGENT!!! For all parents, Nestle is asking for everyone to return all BANANA BABY FOOD expiring 2012 because they may contain GLASS. Please copy & paste for all babies safety. Bar code 7613033089 73, EVEN if you are not a parent please help forward this post. You could help save a child!!!!

That's really frightening... But this is true?? Tried to google it, but cant find more information

Brief Analysis
The warning is derived from a genuine recall, but, in its current form, it is misleading and inaccurate. It is true that Nestle France has voluntarily recalled a specific batch of "P'tit Pot" banana baby food as a precaution d...ue to possible broken glass contamination. However, the problem is confined to one batch and affects a product that is sold only in France. A second, even more inaccurate, incarnation of the message changes the company name from Nestle to Gerber. Gerber is a US based subsidiary of Nestle, but has no connection whatsoever to this Nestle France recall.

My conclusion: this warning is real for specific product batch "Ptiti Pot" banana baby food and only sold in france. Hence this message is not applicable to Singapore.
