Hazardous Prosecco from Costco Might Shatter Unprovoked, No Contact Necessary
Costco has issued a recall for certain bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene due to a potential safety concern. The affected states include Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The recall affects purchases made between April 25 and August 25, 2021. Costco has sent a letter to customers who bought the recalled Prosecco, instructing them to bring the letter into a Costco store for a refund. However, the company asks customers not to return the recalled Prosecco bottles to stores.
Unopened bottles of the recalled Prosecco should be wrapped in paper towels and placed in a plastic bag before disposal. Unfortunately, Costco has not provided details on how to dispose of opened bottles of the recalled Prosecco.
It is important to note that the manufacturer of the recalled Prosecco bottles is not explicitly named in the official recall notice. The contact for further information is listed with a generic email address, [email protected], which does not conclusively identify the specific producer.
The recall notice states that the recalled Prosecco bottles could shatter without being touched. However, no information is given about the potential causes of the bottles shattering or any injuries caused by the recalled Prosecco bottles.
Costco did not specify if there have been any incidents related to the safety concerns. The company also did not provide any details about the steps they are taking to address the recall.
It is advised to follow the instructions provided by Costco and the recall notice to ensure safety. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact Costco's customer service at [email protected].
