- Replies 0
Attention, Trader Joe's shoppers! A significant recall has been issued that may affect your pantry staples and, more importantly, your safety.
Could an item in your homes be on the list? Checking your recent purchases now could help you avoid any potential risks.
Here’s everything you need to know to stay ahead of the latest recall and protect your family.
On March 12, 2025, the beloved grocery chain Trader Joe's announced a recall of over 60,000 bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water.
The reason? A potential laceration hazard due to damaged glass bottles.
The recall was initiated after the supplier, Gerolsteiner, which is based in Germany, alerted Trader Joe's to the possibility that certain lot codes of the glass bottles might be cracked or otherwise compromised.
This defect could lead to the bottles breaking unexpectedly, posing a risk of cuts or lacerations.
Trader Joe's has stated that the issue was discovered through research into bottle breakage during the production process.
It's estimated that approximately 1 percent of bottles from the affected lot codes may be at risk.
If you're a fan of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, it's time to check your bottles.
The affected lot codes can be found on the lower part of the bottle's label, which features a white, blue, and red design. The specific lot codes to look out for are:
- 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12
- 2024/271/11 24 2027/18/12

These bottles, sold individually in 750-milliliter sizes or in cases of 15, were available for purchase in several states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas, from December 27, 2024, to January 28, 2025.
Trader Joe's has not received any customer reports of injuries related to the damaged bottles, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
If you have any of the recalled bottles at home, you should immediately stop using them. The store advises consumers to dispose of the bottles carefully to avoid any potential harm.
