Lakeside Foods Inc. of Manitowoc, Wis., is recalling 15,000 cases of its 14.5-ounce French-style green beans because some of the cans may have been under-processed and some may have leaked.

This could have lead to the beans being contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning.
No illnesses have been reported, and no botulinum toxin has been found in any cans tested to date.
