Trader Joe’s recalls 61,000 sparkling water bottles over dangerous glass hazard

Earlier this week, Trader Joe's recalled 61,000 bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, sold in 750-milliliter glass bottles, due to the potential risk of lacerations.

The bottles were sold at locations all over the middle of America between December 2024 and January 2025.

The bottles that have been recalled have a white, blue, and red label with the name "Gerolsteiner."

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has urged consumers to stop drinking the bottled carbonated water, though no injuries have been reported.

No proof of purchase is needed when returning the bottles, and customers will receive a full refund.

Bottles from the lot number 1/28/2024 L or 11/27/2024 are the ones with concerns.

Only last month, several brands of canned tuna sold at stores including Trader Joe’s, Costco and H-E-B have been recalled because they might be contaminated with a type of bacteria that causes botulism, a potentially fatal food poisoning.

Last week, tri-Union Seafoods of El Segundo, California recalled sure lots of tuna sold under the Genova, Van Camp’s, H-E-B and Trader Joe’s brand names, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The company said that lids on the “easy open” cans may have a manufacturing defect that could cause the products to leak or to become contaminated with the bacteria that causes botulism.

The affected products have retail codes in the recall notice and best-by dates in 2027 and 2028. The tuna was also sold at Harris Teeter, Publix, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and some independent stores in several states.

No illnesses have been reported to date, the company said. Consumers should not consume the recalled tuna even if it doesn’t look or smell spoiled. Return the recalled tuna to the store for a full refund, throw it away or contact Tri-Union Seafoods.

Botulism is a rare but serious illness that occurs when a toxin caused by the bacteria attacks the body’s nerves. It can cause difficulty breathing, paralysis, and death.
