Recall #F-0199-2014 · Initiated 2012-05-15
Plain-language summary
by FoodRecallsDB.infoWhat happened
American Beverage Corp recalled Big Juicy Grape Drink in 10 oz plastic bottles because the sports cap nozzle can potentially come loose if chewed excessively and be swallowed. This cap design hasn't been used since September 2011, so the company expects very little of this product to still be on store shelves.
Who is at risk
Young children who chew on bottle caps are most at risk, though the company believes the recall will have minimal impact since these bottles are over a decade old.
What to do
Check any Big Juicy Grape Drink bottles in your home. If you have one with this cap design, stop using it and throw it away. This is particularly important if you have young children who tend to chew on bottle caps.
Product
Big Juicy Grape Drink in 10 oz 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.
