Constellation Brands Beer Division has announced a voluntary recall of select packages of 12-ounce clear glass bottles of Corona Extra beer that may contain small particles of glass.
Select six-pack, 12-pack, and 18-pack packages of 12-ounce Corona Extra are being recalled; only packages with the production numbers below are being affected.
The recall comes after routine inspections in the quality control laboratory detected defects in certain bottles that could cause small glass particles to break off and fall into the bottle. The company believes that less than 1 percent of the bottles produced from the plant may be affected, but is recalling the packages to ensure the safety of customers.
“We are troubled by this development and are working proactively with our distributors, retailers and consumers to resolve this situation as quickly as possible,” said Bill Hackett, President of Constellation Brands Beer Division. “Throughout its history, Corona Extra is a brand that has been synonymous with quality, consistency and refreshment. Our entire organization, including our brewers, our production team, and all our employees across our system, is absolutely committed to doing everything possible to complete this recall quickly, and ensure the safety of our consumers and integrity of our product.”
As of Aug. 15, the company had not received any reports of injuries from the affected bottles.
