Plain-English summary
American Beverage Corp is voluntarily recalling Guzzler Lemonade 20 fl. oz. PET plastic bottles with sports caps. The recall involves approximately 250,000 cases of the product, which was distributed nationwide. The specific product affected is identified by the UPC code 018397000060 and must have a "best buy" or expiration date earlier than 09/24/12.
The recall is being issued because there is a possibility that a part of the nozzle cap can become dislodged through abuse, such as excessive chewing, and subsequently ingested. This poses a potential health and safety hazard. The specific cap design in question was last produced in September 2011 and is no longer used by the company.
The firm does not anticipate finding any impacted product in the market. Consumers should check their pantries for Guzzler Lemonade bottles matching the description and expiration date criteria and stop using them if found.
