If there's one thing you don't want to ingest accidentally, it's something way hotter than it should be.

Imagine you think you're getting one kind of hot sauce, only to find out it's the absolutely face-melting nuclear version instead.

What Got Recalled and Why

While that's not the case with Texas Pete Hot Sauce, there has been a recall due to some labeling issues.

T.W. Garner Food Company out of North Carolina just recalled Texas Pete Habanero Buffalo Sauce and their Sweet CHAbanero Sauce due to a few issues:

• Mislabeling, such as some of those Habanero Buffalo bottles, actually includes sriracha sauce.
• Others have undisclosed sulfites, which in the wrong body can cause some severe allergic reactions.
• In the case of the Sweet CHAbanero bottles, there are also some other missing labeled ingredients.

That last one is just funny. Like, Texas Pete forgot to put some ingredients in the bottle of Sweet CHAbanero and others it put the wrong stuff in.

Where the Recalled Sauce Was Shipped

Also, those wrong bottles were shipped to Illinois and nine other states between February 5 and March 26 of this year.

How It Was Discovered

Here's how they figured it out: T.W. Garner noticed the issue while doing some internal quality testing.

What You Should Do If You Have One

If you have one of those two or both on your pantry shelf or kitchen table, T.W. Garner is urging you to stop using them and return them for a full refund.

As of now, zero illnesses have been reported.

If you like your hot sauce mild, or melt your face off, these are two bottles of the stuff you don't want to mess with. Check your labels and your spice tolerance.
