This Trader Joe's bottled water recalled for ‘laceration concerns,' potential breakage
Two lots of Gerolsteiner 750ml Sparkling Water bottles sold in 12 states, including Florida, were found "in rare cases" to crack or leak at the bottom, the Germany-based Gerolsteiner Brunnen GmbH & Co. KG said in a release. The bottles were sold for about $3 a bottle from December 2024 through January 2025.
"The issue was identified by research related to bottle breakage during production and potentially affects 1% of bottles," the company wrote in an online news release.
No injuries have been reported.
Here's what to know.
Gerolsteiner 750ml Sparkling Water, sold individually or in 15-bottle cases, with a white, blue and red label.

Faraday Future unveils FX Super One MPV to rival Escalade
Story Highlights Faraday Future unveils FX Super One MPV to compete with luxury SUVs. FX Super One features unique LED display and advanced technology features. Faraday secures $105 million in financing for FX Super One launch. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. unveiled its FX Super One MPV Thursday in Los Angeles, saying the first in its new line of affordable mass-market electric vehicles under the FX brand will compete with luxury SUVs such as Cadillac's Escalade. The Gardena, California-based company (Nasdaq: FFAI) said it now has more than 10,000 'binding deposits' for the vehicle, even though the company hasn't released a price tag for it nor said when it will go on sale. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Faraday said the FX Super One MPV will have some unique features when it eventually hits the road, including its FF Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem), which is an external super LED display on the front fascia that will replace a vehicle's typical grill. With multiple changing front-screen images, the technology brings 'each vehicle a unique expression — 'a thousand faces for a thousand cars,'' Faraday said. Other features touted by Faraday include floating rear zero-gravity seats; all-wheel drive; a longer wheelbase than the Escalade; a high-strength steel structure; a refrigerator; enhanced range on the highway using AI hybrid extended range technology (coming soon); a Dolby Atmos audio system; LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar and HD camera sensors; and several seating configurations, including four-seat, six-seat and seven-seat choices. The company will build the FX Super One at its factory in Hanford, California, located in the San Joaquin Valley region of the greater Central Valley. The unveiling comes after Faraday said earlier this week it secured about $105 million in new cash financing, including $82 million of new financing commitments, to support the launch of the FX Super One model. The company also intends to use the funds to accelerate development and distribution efforts for its FF and FX brands and AI-related technologies.

Three Community Banks Partner with Tulsa's iDENTIFY to End Data Silos
TULSA, Okla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iDENTIFY, a Tulsa-based data engineering firm and a Snowflake Select Certified Partner, helps community banks unify their data. This quarter, they announced three new banking clients. 'Fragmented data silos slowed down our decision-making, iDENTIFY is helping us build a roadmap to the cloud so we can make smarter, faster decisions with confidence for our customers.' - Pratt Lewis, CIO of InBank Share InBank, Academy Bank and Core Bank selected iDENTIFY for the team's ability to help banks scale confidently, without compromising their community-focused service. 'Fragmented data silos slowed down our decision-making,' said Pratt Lewis, CIO of InBank, 'iDENTIFY is helping us build a roadmap to the cloud so we can make smarter, faster decisions with confidence for our customers.' Lee Easton, President of iDENTIFY, emphasizes that reliable data is foundational to the bank- fintech partnerships: 'Our role is to help banks increase their confidence and nimbleness by consolidating isolated data sets into an accessible system. Banks must be able to trust their data.' How iDENTIFY Helps Partner Banks Better Serve Customers iDENTIFY helps banks centralize data, whether by migrating data to platforms like Snowflake, developing custom reporting, or designing secure data flows between systems like Lithic and Unit21. With cleaner pipelines and fewer manual touchpoints, banks can monitor activity, streamline compliance, and surface strategic insights. 'By collecting all the places we have data and organizing it into useful dashboards, it's now going to be possible to fine-tune our strategy while it's ongoing instead of reacting to end results," said Lindsay Borgeson, President of Partner Banking at Core Bank. Why Tulsa? Tulsa's tech ecosystem has gained national attention after the region's Tech Hub initiative was honored in Fast Company's 2025 World Changing Ideas Awards. Easton says the city's momentum has helped iDENTIFY stay close to the community‑bank market that stretches nationwide. Meet the Banks InBank InBank offers personal, private, business, and commercial banking. It specializes in flexible financing and personalized service for entrepreneurs and growing businesses. Recently, InBank moved its headquarters to Denver's thriving River North district to better serve the region. Academy Bank Academy Bank is a full-service commercial bank with $2.9B in assets and more than 75 banking centers in AZ, CO, KS, AR, and MO.
