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.
