Recall #F-0191-2014 · Initiated 2012-05-15
Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
American Beverage Corporation is recalling Guzzler Concord Grape drinks in 20 fl. oz. bottles because the sports cap nozzle can potentially come loose if chewed excessively and could be swallowed. This cap design hasn't been used since September 2011, so affected products are quite old.
Who is at risk
Young children who chew on bottle caps are at the greatest risk, though the company expects very little of this old product to still be in stores.
What to do
Check any Guzzler Concord Grape 20 oz. bottles you have at home, particularly older ones. If you find a bottle with this cap style, stop using it and contact American Beverage Corporation or the FDA if you have concerns.
Product
Guzzler Concord Grape 20 fl. oz. PET plastic bottle with a sports cap, American Beverage Corporation, Verona PA.
Reason for recall
There is a possibility that a part of the nozzle cap of the bottle can become dislodged through abuse (i.e. excessive chewing) then possibly ingested, and posing a potential health/safety hazard. The cap in question is no longer used by ABC and was last produced in September of 2011. Firm does not anticipate finding any impacted product in the market.
