This recall comes after quality inspections at the Mills River brewery detected a very limited number of bottles with a flaw that may cause a small piece of glass to break off and possibly fall into the bottle, creating a risk for injury. The specifics of the affected beer include those brands listed above with a packaging date that falls within the range with a code of “M” (Mills River) and not “C” (Chico), which is all information that can be found printed on the packaging or shoulder of the bottle. To-date, there has not been any reports of injuries resulting from the potentially affected bottles.
