Low-alcohol beer producer Lucky Saint has recalled one of its Hazy IPA products sold at UK supermarkets over fears the cans may explode. Shoppers are being urged not to drink or open the product.
Food Standards Agency warning
Issuing an alert on Wednesday, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said: "Lucky Saint is recalling Hazy IPA products because some cans may become over-pressurised and rupture unexpectedly." The FSA added "there is a risk that the cans may explode which may cause injury".
The recalled product is Lucky Saint's 0.5% Hazy IPA, which comes in a pack of 4 x 330ml cans and has a best before date of August 13, 2027.
Refund and disposal advice
Shoppers at stores selling the cans will see notices about the food recall alert stating: "We are recalling Lucky Saint 0.5% Hazy IPA 4 x 330ml because some cans may become over-pressurised. This can cause cans to swell, leak or rupture unexpectedly, presenting a risk of physical injury."
Shoppers can seek a refund with proof of purchase, and the notice advises them to safely dispose of the cans and not to return them to the store. Further advice states "to safely dispose of the product; handle the cans as little as possible, place them carefully, upright, in a sealed bag and dispose of them with your household waste".
