The recall includes 8.4 oz mini bottles of Gold Medal Sparkling Cider, Sparkling Cider Northwest Blend, Sparkling White Grape and Sparkling Red Grape beverages.
Portions of the mini bottle’s glass may chip off and fall into the beverage. Consumers could potentially be cut by small pieces of glass or accidentally swallow the fragments.
However, no injuries have been reported. The recall was initiated after the company conducted tests that showed some bottles may chip when being opened.
The bottles were manufactured with a “Best Before” date after March 1, 2018, but before September 12, 2018. The date can be found by examining the front labeling.
