The recall affects about 61,500 bottles of water. They were sold individually and in cases of 15. The water bottles were recalled over a manufacturing error that could cause them to crack. Since they’re glass, this could pose a laceration risk.
What states are affected by the recall?
The recalled Gerolsteiner water bottles were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas from December 2024 through January 2025.
How do I know if I have a recalled product?
To see if you have a recalled product, check the bottom of the label for the lot number. Recalled products will display lot number 11/28/2024 L or 11/27/2024 L
What should I do next?
If you have a bottle of recalled Gerolsteiner water, do not consume it, even if it does not appear to be cracked or otherwise pose a risk. Carefully dispose of the product, or return it to Trader Joe’s for a full refund.
