Trader Joe's recalls 61,000 sparkling water bottles due to 'laceration hazard'
The glass bottles may crack, posing a laceration hazard, according to an announcement by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Mar. 13.
The recall affects 750ml Gerolsteiner Sparkling Water bottles sold individually or in cases of 15. These bottles feature a white, blue and red label with the name "Gerolsteiner" on the front.

The affected products come from two specific lots, with lot numbers 11/28/2024 L and 11/27/2024 L, which can be found on the lower part of the label.
The company stated that no injuries have been reported in connection with the recalled bottles, which they say were flagged during an investigation into bottle breakage during production.
The recall affects 61,500 units sold at Trader Joe's locations across 12 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. The bottles were available between December 2024 and January 2025 for approximately $3 each, according to the CPSC.
Maarten Moog, president and CEO of conSup, the U.S. sales office and importer for Gerolsteiner, told ABC News on Sunday that this is the first recall in the 35 years the company has been importing the product from Germany.
Moog says the issue stemmed from a single batch of glass bottles from one supplier, with less than 1% of the bottles found to be defective and the recall affects only two days' worth of production that was shipped to the U.S.
"It is a very small number, and then of that small number, it is a very limited percentage of products that could even possibly have a problem," he continued. "There's no harm, and that's why it's not an FDA recall, it's a consumer protection agency recall."
He added, "There's no harm in consuming the product. It is just that there is a potential that a bottle could break right and quite frankly, this was delivered in January of 2025. We are now at the end of March, and the chances that there are any products remaining out in the marketplace are extremely limited."
In the announcement on Thursday, the company also advises consumers to stop using the recalled Gerolsteiner sparkling water bottles and return them to the store for a full refund. Proof of purchase is not required, but the recalled bottle must be returned to receive a refund in cash or credit.
ABC News has reached out to Trader Joe's for additional comment, but did not immediately hear back.

Millions of swimming pools recalled following the deaths of 9 children
About five million swimming pools, specifically above-ground pools, have been recalled for a potential drowning risk after nine children died in a 15-year span. The impacted models include 48-inch and taller above-ground pools sold over the past two decades under the brand names Bestway, Coleman, Intel, and Polygroup, according to a release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC believes between 2007 and 2022, nine children under 3 years old drowned after gaining access to the pools via compression straps that wrap around the outside of the product, according to the release. "These straps wrap around the pool on the outside of the supporting poles, and may create a foothold, allowing a child to access the pool and drown," the release said. The products have been sold at a variety of retailers, including Walmart, Target, Costco and Amazon. Here's what to know. Which pools have been recalled? Pools sold since 2002 under the brands Bestway, Coleman, Intel and Polygroup have been recalled. The pool brand names and model numbers can be found on the pool liner on the outside of the pool. The recalled products range in price from $400 to over $1,000. Over 200,000 have also been recalled in Canada, according to CPSC. The affected products include: Bestway and Coleman pools sold 2008-2024 Power steel Steel pro Coleman power steel Intex pools sold 2002-2012 Metal frame pools Ultra frame pools Intex pools sold only at and Walmart 2024-25 (266 pools) Prism frame pool Ultra XTR frame pool Polygroup pools sold 2006-2025 Summer waves (2015-2025) Summer escapes (2006-2015) Funsicle (2023-2025) Sand n sun (2008-2011) Blue Wave (2014-2025) What to do if your pool has been recalled Customers who have a pool included in the recall should contact Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup to receive a free repair kit. In the meantime, ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or drain the pool until the repair can be installed. The repair kit includes a rope to attach to each of the pool's vertical support poles at the ground level. The rope wraps around the pool, functioning as the compression strap did. After securing the rope, customers should cut and remove the original compression strap from the pool, CPSC said. Customers can also contact each of the companies via the following: Bestway toll free at 844-593-4003 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at or email at BWrecallsupport5516@ for more information. Intex toll-free at 800-549-8829 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or online at or email recallhelp@ for more information. Polygroup toll-free at 888-621-4137 from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. MT Monday through Friday or online at or email at poolrecall@ for more information.

Thousands of inexpensive e-bikes recalled for shocking reason
Product recalls happen so often that they can be difficult to keep track of. Between contaminated food, faulty household appliances, and cars, it seems like there is a new recall every day. When enough consumers report a problem, or a company realizes one of its products is faulty, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will step in and announce a recall. Sometimes the problem is a nuisance, but sometimes the recall happens because the product is downright dangerous, potentially deadly even. That's the case with the CPSC's latest recall, which is related to bargain-priced e-bikes. Related: Ford breaks an unfortunate General Motors recall record E-bikes have become popular around the world because they are fun to ride and have zero emissions. Over the past couple of years, they have also become much more affordable. When they first came out, an e-bike could cost as much as $5,000, but now you can find them for a fraction of that. And that is part of the problem: The less expensive bikes are more likely to miss essential safety standards. Image source: Taris Grebinets/Shutterstock The CPSC announced a recall of approximately 24,000 lithium-ion batteries used in VIVI brand electric bikes. The bikes were sold on Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Wayfair, AliExpress and between December 2020 and November 2023. The e-bikes, priced from $365-$950, were very popular due to their price, but the CPSC says it has received more than a dozen reports of the lithium-ion powered bikes overheating, including three that caught fire. No injuries have been reported yet. This high-profile recall, announced on July 17, highlights the risks tied to uncertified, low-budget e‑bike batteries. Related: Trader Joe's shares recall on popular snack that can make you sick Many low-cost brands, including VIVI, bypass UL certification - a voluntary safety standard not federally mandated - which can lead to dangerous shortcuts in battery manufacturing. This gap stems from a "de minimis" import threshold of $800, which lets vendors avoid duties and safety inspections by keeping prices below the limit, according to a report on The Verge. The reporter also asserts the U.S. is unlikely to set a federal safety standard under President Donald Trump, which means there could be additional similar recalls. The recalled batteries are the 36-volt lithium-ion units that came bundled in several VIVI models: • C26 • MT20 • Z3 • M026SH • H6 • H7 • 26LGB • M026TGB • MT26G • FM20 • F20 • S3 • Z1 • Z2 The identifying labels are affixed to the bike frame or the battery casing. VIVI is urging owners to immediately stop using the affected batteries, contact the company for free replacement batteries and chargers, and dispose of the recalled units at household hazardous waste facilities. It is never safe to dispose of a lithium-ion battery in a regular trash can or recycling bin. Consumers can confirm affected battery serial numbers and take action by calling VIVI's toll-free number at 800-375-6103 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or online at or and click on "Important Recall Information" for more information. If you own a VIVI e‑bike purchased during the stated timeframe, stop using it now and arrange a replacement. If you plan to purchase an e-bike, it is safer to choose one with a UL-certified battery. Until federal safety measures are in place, strong certifications remain the best defense against fire hazards.

Moog (MOG.A) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?
Moog (MOG.A) is expected to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended June 2025. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price. The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on July 25. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise. Zacks Consensus Estimate This aerospace contractor is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.10 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +10%. Revenues are expected to be $912.48 million, up 0.9% from the year-ago quarter. Estimate Revisions Trend The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 1.03% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Earnings Whisper Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Moog? For Moog, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +1.27%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #2. So, this combination indicates that Moog will most likely beat the consensus EPS estimate. Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue? Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Moog would post earnings of $1.8 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.92, delivering a surprise of +6.67%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times. Bottom Line An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. Moog appears a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release. An Industry Player's Expected Results Another stock from the Zacks Aerospace - Defense Equipment industry, Hexcel (HXL), is soon expected to post earnings of $0.46 per share for the quarter ended June 2025. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of -23.3%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $471.17 million, down 5.8% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for Hexcel has been revised 2.8% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. However, a higher Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.93%. This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Hexcel will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times. Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.
