FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- Brooklyn, NY -- May 29, 2007 -- Murray International Trading Inc., 908 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11238 is recalling Lucky Eight Brand Dried Lily Bulb because it contains undeclared sulfites.

The recalled Lucky Eight Brand Dried Lily Bulb is sold in uncoded 12 oz. transparent plastic bags and is a product of China. The product was sold nationwide.
