Notice of Voluntary Recall of Certain Martinelli's 8.4 oz. Sparkling Beverages Due to Potential for Glass Fragments
S. Martinelli & Company today announced a voluntary recall of Martinelli’s 8.4 oz. mini glass bottles of Gold Medal Sparkling Cider, Sparkling Cider Northwest Blend, Sparkling White Grape, and Sparkling Red Grape, due to the possibility of small glass chips at the top of the bottles occurring when opening the bottle, which could possibly enter the beverage. Consumers could potentially be cut or injured if a chip occurs. This recall is being carried out to the user level.
Only certain lots of the 8.4 oz. bottles, typically known in the trade as “mini-bottles,” of Martinelli’s Gold Medal Sparkling Cider, Sparkling Cider Northwest Blend, Sparkling White Grape, and Sparkling Red Grape are affected by this recall. A complete list of the product names, item numbers, “Best Before” dates, and UPC codes, and images for the products affected are included in this link ( http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm467264.htm). The recalled products have a “Best Before” date of after March 1, 2018, but before September 12, 2018, on the front label of the bottle.
No other Martinelli’s beverages are impacted. The 750mL “champagne” and 10 oz. bottles of these beverages are not included in this recall.
