Summary
YouTubecelebrity Logan Paul has responded to rumors of Lunchly being recalled from stores and revealed that the company’s HQ was targeted by a bomb threat. Lunchly is Logan Paul’s snack product launched in collaboration with fellowYouTubepersonalities MrBeast and KSI.
In September,YouTube’s biggest star MrBeastteamed up with Logan Paul and KSI to announce Lunchly, a snack pack product that claimed to be a healthier alternative to Lunchables. Each Lunchly box includes a MrBeast Feastables bar, one of KSI and Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration drinks, and a main snack that varies between three flavors: pizza, nachos, and turkey with cheese and crackers. Since its reveal, Lunchly has been distributed to various locations across the US and reviewed by several creators. In October, YouTuber Rosanna Pansino went viral after allegedly finding moldy cheese in a Lunchly box. Her video sparked a series of rumors of Lunchly being recalled from stores due to health concerns from the FDA. Now, Logan Paul has denied these allegations.
On October 28, through a video posted on his Twitter account, Logan Paul responded to tweets and Reddit posts claiming that Lunchly was being recalled. “That’s so weird because FDA recalls are public by law and, as you can see, Lunchly is not on the FDA recall list,” said Paul. Evidently, there’s no record of Lunchly on theFDA’s official recall list. Logan Paul also revealed that Lunchly’s headquarters experienced a bomb threat within its first four weeks. However, according to the YouTuber, the FBI has tracked down the culprit’s base in London. “Which is crazy, because we don’t even distribute there,” he added.
Logan Paul Addresses Lunchly Recall Rumors
Though Paul seemed to debunk the Lunchly recall rumors, he admitted that the product may experience problems when distributed to stores. “The fact is, the USDA inspects every finished food lot and approves it before even leaving our facility. And yes, it’s possible that issues happen in transit, like a seal breaking,” said Paul. “But just like any produce you buy, problems can arise.” Despite Lunchly being clear of any legal issues,Logan Paul’s Prime Hydration did face a lawsuitin August, and the YouTuber was also involved in a legal battle against Coffeezilla in June.
Paul isn’t alone when it comes to scandalous lawsuits. Fellow Lunchly creatorMrBeast was sued alongside Amazonby anonymous Beast Games contestants over mistreatment and harassment accusations. It’s been a turbulent year for MrBeast overall, with his team being hit by legal battles and his longtime collaborator Ava Kris Tyson accused of grooming. Now, Lunchly also faces criticism on social media, with users claiming that the lunchbox isn’t as healthy as it claims to be.
Controversies don’t stop YouTubers from launching new products, though. Beyond Lunchly,MrBeast also released a toy lineearlier this year. On the other hand, Logan Paul is assured that Lunchly can dethrone Lunchables, the longtime leader of the snack box market. Only time will tell if the product reaches its goal or not.
