Recall #F-0190-2014 · Initiated 2012-05-15
Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
American Beverage Corporation recalled Guzzler Lemonade bottles because the sports cap nozzle can potentially come loose if chewed excessively, which could be swallowed. The company stopped using this cap design in 2011 and doesn't expect to find any of these bottles still in stores.
Who is at risk
Parents of young children who might chew on bottle caps should be most concerned, though the risk is low since these older bottles are unlikely to be available.
What to do
If you have Guzzler Lemonade bottles from this product line, check the cap design and discard any that match the recalled version. Contact American Beverage Corporation if you have questions about whether you have the recalled product.
