Gerolsteiner has initiated a voluntary recall of its 750ml Sparkling Natural Mineral Water sold under specific lot numbers. The recall addresses a potential laceration hazard associated with cracking glass bottles.
These products were distributed through Trader Joe’s stores across 12 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas). Approximately 61,500 bottles are affected. Gerolsteiner is working with authorities and has removed the products from store shelves.
