Kellogg’s is voluntarily recalling some packages of its Special K Red Berries cereal because the boxes might contain fragments of glass, according to an announcement from the company. The recall covers certain 11.2-ounce, 22.4-ounce and 37-ounce boxes sold in the U.S.

In October, Kellogg’s recalled certain varieties of Mini-Wheats cereal because of fragments of metal mesh from a manufacturing part. That recall affected an estimated 282,000 boxes and cost the company $20 million to $30 million, reported Yahoo! News.
Kellogg’s did not say how many boxes of Special K Red Berries are affected. There have been no reports of injuries associated with the recalled cereal, the company said.
Replacement coupons for recalled cereal are available at Kellogg’s website or by calling (800) 962-1413.
