Prepackaged shrimp that was distributed to retailers across four states has been recalled due to a possible health risk.

Kawasho Foods USA Inc. initiatied a voluntary recall of its 4-ounce canned GEISHA Medium Shrimp on Sunday over reports of "swelling, leaking, or bursting cans," according to an announcement posted on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website.

"There is a possibility that the product has been under processed, which could lead to the potential for spoilage organisms or pathogens," the New York based food manufacturer said in its announcement.

The affected products are marked with the UPC number 071140003909 and were distributed in California, Utah, Arizona and Colorado, according to the company. The products were sold at Walmart, Associated Food Stores, Stater Bros Markets, Safeway and Albertsons.
