TOKYO - A Japanese food company recalled nearly 5 million cans of tuna Friday after a customer found part of a box cutter blade in a can, a company official said. There were no injuries from the blade, company official Kunimitsu Asakura said. The recall followed the disclosure earlier this week that a shotgun pellet had been found in December in a pack of frozen blueberries from Canada sold by Nichiro. Nichiro said on Wednesday that Purewal Blueberry Farm, the Canadian producer of blueberries for Nichiro, prohibits the use of shotguns at its farms to chase away birds, and the pellet may have been a stray shot from a nearby farm. Nichiro said it has no plans to recall its blueberries because there were no other complaints and it was unlikely that the problem would recur.

-Yes, I imagine it _would_ be rather difficult to complain about anything while choking on a shotgun pellet.
