Starkey Spring Water Recalled Due to Arsenic Detection

Starkey Water is recalling 16.9 fl oz glass bottles of Starkey Spring Water because 11.7 ppb of arsenic was detected in a water sample.

What this means for you

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 FDA classified this as a Class III recall, which typically corresponds to a low risk of adverse health consequences. The detection of arsenic at 11.7 ppb is a contamination issue, but the agency's classification suggests it is not an immediate high-risk hazard like a Class I or II recall.
