DO NOT BREAK GLASS

Trader Joe’s Recalls 61,500 Bottles of Water Over Laceration Hazard

The grocery store chain is recalling certain bottles of imported mineral water.

The New York Post reports that Trader Joe’s is recalling 61,500 bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, a German mineral water, over concerns that the glass containers may shatter. A March 12 announcement from the company states that certain lots “may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles,” continuing, “The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above.” The affected lot codes are 11/28/2024 L and 11/27/2024 L. If any customers have products from the affected lot codes, Trader Joe’s asks you to dispose of them carefully and visit any Trader Joe’s store for a full refund. Trader Joe’s reports that fortunately no injuries involving the bottles have been reported.
