American Beverage Corp. Recalls Big Burst Kiwi Strawberry Drink Bottles
American Beverage Corp. is recalling Big Burst Kiwi Strawberry Drink bottles due to a potential choking hazard from dislodged cap parts.
The agency’s classification
FDA (Food): Class II
Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the firm anticipates no impacted product in the market and the hazard requires specific abuse (excessive chewing), fitting the criteria for a moderate risk or voluntary precautionary recall.
Plain-English summary
