Beech-Nut to stop selling baby rice cereal after finding high arsenic levels
Beech-Nut voluntarily recalled an infant rice cereal Tuesday because it exceeds a predetermined FDA limit of 100 parts per billion of arsenic and announced it would no longer sell rice cereal for babies.

FWIW - arsenic on rice grains is common - it is naturally occurring. This is why you should wash rice before you cook it, and why I make a practice of washing it, then cooking it a little, then rinsing it again. Sometimes several times.
