Trader Joe’s recalls over 61,000 products over glass hazard

Trader Joe’s has recalled 61,500 bottles of sparkling water over the possibility that the glass may shatter.

The grocery store chain issued a recall for its 750 mL bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, an imported German product that is sold for around $3.

According to the company’s news release, “certain lot codes may have the potential for cracked/damaged bottles.” The affected lot codes are either 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12 or 024/271/11 24 2027/18/12.

“The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above,” the news release read.

The bottles were sold from December 27, 2024, to January 28, 2025, in 12 states. The states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

No customers have reported injuries or any damaged bottles, according to the news release.

Trader Joe’s has asked customers who have purchased bottles from the affected lots to not use them and to either throw them away or return them to the grocery store chain for a full refund.

Last month, Trader Joe’s recalled their Organic Acai Bowls over the concern that the bowls may contain plastic. The grocer recommended throwing away or returning the boxes to a Trader Joe’s location for a full refund.

“Out of an abundance of caution, please discard any Trader Joe’s Organic Acai Bowls, as the product may contain foreign material (plastic), or return them to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s store for a full refund,” the company said.

The recall did not contain information detailing the lot numbers affected or specifying a range of dates when the affected products were produced or sold.

Earlier this week a coffee creamer brand recalled over 75,000 bottles after receiving complaints of “spoilage and illness.”

Danone, the parent company of International Delight coffee creamer, originally issued a voluntary recall on February 21. On Wednesday, the United States Food and Drug Administration upgraded the recall to its second-highest risk level, a Class II recall.

According to the FDA, a Class II recall means using or being exposed to the product may “cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.” The recall only applies to two specific flavors of the coffee creamer: 32-ounce bottles of Hazelnut creamer and 32-ounce bottles of Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll. The total number of recalled creamer bottles was 75,054.

Their expiration dates are listed as July 2, 2025, and July 3, 2025, respectively. Both recalled bottles have a producing plant code of 51-4114 R-S.

Thirty-one states received shipments of the creamer bottles: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
