Excuse My French, But Here's the Scoop on Trader Joe's Water Recall
Sparkling Water Bottles Pulled from Trader Joe's Shelves Over Fear of Causing Cuts
If you've been hitting up Trader Joe's for your daily glass of bubbly H2O, you might wanna keep an eye on your Gerolsteiner bottles. The retailer has pulled 61,500 bottles off the shelves due to a damn crackin' issue, according to the good ol' CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission).
On March 12, Trader Joe's announced they were yanking Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water from their shelves. These bad boys come in 750-milliliter glass bottles and feature a white, blue, and red label with Gerolsteiner's name on the front. Check the lower part of the label for the lot number, it'll be either 11/28/2024 L or 11/27/2024 L.
This recall covers a dozen states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The bottles were sold between December 2024 and January 2025, and there haven't been any injuries reported, but it's still better to err on the safe side.
If you've got the recalled product in your fridge, CPSC advises you to stop drinking from the bottles and return them to the store for a full refund. Don't worry if you don't have your receipt, you can still get your refund as long as you bring the bottle back. If you've been affected and need more information, hit up Trader Joe's customer service via their product feedback form or call them at 626-599-3817.
So, keep your wits about you, and watch out for those suckers! Remember, safety first. Now, what's next on your shopping list? Some crackers perhaps? Uh-oh, hold that thought. Turns out, certain kinds of crackers have been recalled too, but that's a tale for another time...
