"Boston Market Home Style Meals Boneless Pork Rib Shaped Patty With BBQ Sauce & Mashed Potatoes" frozen dinners have been recalled due to the possible presence of glass or hard plastic.

This is a serious Class I recall with a high health risk, according to the recall notice.

These entrees are part of the Boston Market Home Style Meals product line and were shipped to retail location throughout the country.

The recall of approximately 173,376 pounds of frozen pork entrée products was prompted by consumer complaints although there are no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injuries at this time.

The recall notice indicates:

"The frozen, not ready-to-eat (NRTE) boneless pork rib patties were produced on various dates from Dec. 7, 2018 to Feb. 15, 2019. The following products are subject to recall:
