"Kirkland Signature is Costco's private-label brand of products. Under that brand, Costco sells a Prosecco Valdobbiadene sparkling wine that it sources from wine producer Ethica Wines. Costco's letter, which it has published on its recalls page, states that unopened bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene with the Costco item number 1879870 are at risk of shattering, even if the bottle is still sitting on a shelf or counter."
"Usually when a company recalls a food item, it's because there is something wrong with the food itself-a bacterial contamination or an ingredient that isn't supposed to be there. But this week, Costco announced a recall for another reason: The product in question might explode. Here's what you need to know about Costco's recall of its Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene."
Costco notified members that unopened bottles of Kirkland Signature Prosecco Valdobbiadene (item #1879870) may shatter and pose an explosion risk. The sparkling wine is sourced from Ethica Wines. Bottles can break even when left unused on a shelf or counter. It is unknown how the defect was discovered and the notification does not indicate whether any explosions have occurred. Ethica Wines does not appear to have posted details about the issue. The hazard prompted urgent consumer warnings and echoes a recent unrelated recall of sparkling water bottles that posed a glass laceration risk.
