61,000 bottles of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Natural Mineral Water, a sparkling water brand, are being recalled by Trader Joe’s. Food & Wine claims that the product “may have the potential for cracked or damaged bottles,” according to a statement from the firm.
How can consumers determine which Trader Joe’s bottles are recalled?
Consumers can determine which bottles are recalled by looking at the lot codes that are printed on the side of the bottles. 2024/28/11 24 2027/19/12 and 2024/271/11 24 2027/18/12 are the only lot codes impacted. It is recommended that consumers discard any bottles with such lot codes.
If you have the recalled bottles, you can return them to Trader Joe’s for a complete refund or dispose of them properly.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), “consumers will need to return the recalled bottle to receive a refund (in the form of cash or credit) but will not be asked for proof of purchase.”

The bottles were offered by Trader Joe’s from December 27, 2024, to January 28, 2025. Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas were among the states where the corporation sold its goods.

Has anyone been hurt as a result of Trader Joe’s broken sparkling water bottles?
According to Trader Joe’s, no injuries have been recorded as a result of the recalled bottles.
“There have been no customer reports of injury or damaged bottles,” Trader Joe’s stated, per Food & Wine. “The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles in the lot codes above.”
Due to the fact that the bottles are constructed of glass, the firm has stated that it is essential for customers to exercise caution and look out for any potential cracks.
If one of the bottles bursts open, it could pose a threat to the safety of others who are present.
