Recall for 650,000 plastic water bottles over contamination fears

"Insanitary conditions mean the prepared, packed, or held under conditions that could allow it to become contaminated with filth or rendered injurious to health. Impacted products include the one-gallon 100% Natural Bottled Water, the 2.5-gallon 100% Natural Bottled Water and the one-gallon Infant Water, which is labeled 'Not sterile.'"

"The FDA defines a Class II recall as '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.' A total of 651,148 products are included in the recall."

"Valley Springs Artesian Gold informed distributors and the public about the recall through a mix of email, fax, letters, phone calls and in-person notifications, according to an FDA filing. However, the FDA reported that no dedicated press release was issued specifically for this recall."

The FDA issued an alert for Valley Springs 100% Natural Bottled Water sold in Illinois and Wisconsin after the company voluntarily initiated a recall of over 651,000 products produced under insanitary conditions. Affected products include various sizes and types of bottled water, including infant water and pet water, with specific UPC codes identified. The recall was initiated February 6 and elevated to Class II status on February 26, indicating potential for temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. Valley Springs notified distributors and the public through multiple communication channels, though no dedicated press release was issued. The recall remains active with no announced end date, and consumers are advised to check UPC codes and discontinue use of affected products.
