On November 8, 2012, Nestlé USA issued a voluntary recall of limited quantities of Nesquik Chocolate Powder made and sold in the United States. These that were recalled were of the 10.9, 21.8, and 40.7 ounce tins. This recall only affected the chocolate variety; it did not affect the other varieties of the mix or any other products by Nesquik. This was the first known recall of a Nesquik product.
