World Waters is recalling some of their WTRMLN WTR beverages because it may contain foreign materials, more specifically pieces of soft plastic. The plastic is floating in some of the finished product. The company is using consumers to check the package before they open it and drink it. No adverse events have been reported to date in connection with this issue, but the plastic could be a choking hazard.
The recalled product is WTRMLN WTR Original 12 packs in Watermelon Flavor. The lot number, printed on the bottom of the bottle, can be seen at the FDA web site. The product label is printed to look like a watermelon, with a pink center surrounded by green and white stripe.
These products were sent to customers nationwide for distribution in retail stores from December 22, 2018 through February 5, 2019. If you purchased this product, check it before you drink it to make sure there are no plastic pieces in it first. World Waters will give consumers a coupon for a replacement product with proof of purchase.
You can also throw the product away, or take it back to the place of purchase for a full refund. Check any World Waters product you bought carefully to see if any are the Watermelon Flavor.
The FDA conducts retail effectiveness checks to make sure that these products are being pulled from store shelves, and that the company is notifying its customers about this recall and taking product back. The FDA also wants to make sure that consumers are notified about this issue.
