Bottled Water Recall Initiated by Trader Joe's Due to Safety Concerns
Hey there, grocery goers! Listen up, ‘cause Trader Joe's has got a heads-up for you! They've pulled one of their popular items from the shelves – yep, that's right, Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water. Here's the scoop: some bottles might be cracked or damaged, and the reason? A safety issue discovered by the water supplier.
Now, pay attention to the lot codes, folks:
- 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12
- 2024/271/11 24 2027/18/12
This recall applies to water sold between 12/27/24 and 01/28/25, and it's hitting groceries across these states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
Good news is that there haven't been any reports of injury or damaged bottles. This problem was identified through research related to bottle breakage during production and could potentially affect just 1% of the bottles with the specified lot codes.
To stay safe, Trader Joe's is asking shoppers who have these sparkling water bottles to steer clear and dispose of them carefully. Not to worry, you can swing by any Trader Joe's location for a full refund of your purchase.

By the way, this isn't Trader Joe's first rodeo with recalls – just last month, they had a nationwide recall of their Organic Acai Bowls because they might have had some pesky plastic bits in them.
So, keep those shopping carts rolling, but be mindful of the products you're buying! Stay safe out there, folks!
