Some candy sold on some Eau Claire store shelves could be tainted.

Representatives with Wisconsin Consumer Protection say White Rabbit Candy, recalled by a distributor earlier this month, was found in stores in Eau Claire, Sheboygan and Wausau, as well as in a Wisconsin grocery distribution center.

The candy, made in China, may be contaminated with melamine, a white powdery industrial chemical. Doctors say the chemical can build up in a child's kidneys over time, causing problems. The candy was sold in eight and 16-ounce bags and has a design of a white rabbit on the front.

If you purchased the candy, return it to the store or throw it away.
