Topo Chico Mineral Water Recalled Over Possible Bacterial Contamination
Coca-Cola has announced a voluntary recall for certain 16.9-ounce glass bottles of Topo Chico Mineral Water sold at Costco and Sam's Club locations in Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas due to possible contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.
The recall, detailed in a June 2 customer notice, involves 18-packs of Topo Chico sold at select Costco warehouses in Texas and Louisiana between May 20 and May 29. The affected bottles carry lot code 13A2541, printed on the case and bottleneck. Some bottles sold at certain Sam's Club locations with lot codes 11A2543, 12A2543, or 13A2541 are also included.
'Any consumer that purchased a product with the Lot numbers 11A2543, 12A2543, or 13A2541, may return the product to the place of purchase for exchange or refund, or can call Coca-Cola at 1-800-GET-COKE,' a Coca-Cola spokesperson told FOX Business. 'The quality and safety of our products is our top priority.'
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium naturally found in water sources, including mineral water, poses 'potential minor health consequences' for individuals with compromised immune systems, according to Costco's notice. For healthy individuals, health risks are 'considered to be very low.'
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that those most at risk include people in healthcare settings, particularly those using breathing machines, catheters, or with open wounds from burns or surgeries.
The Cleveland Clinic states that Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections can cause issues ranging from urinary tract infections to septicemia, with symptoms including chills, earache, diarrhea, red eyes, difficulty breathing, urinary incontinence, and itchy skin.
Consumers with affected products are advised to return them to Costco or Sam's Club for a refund. For questions, Coca-Cola's customer service line is available at 1-800-438-2653. The company emphasized that the recall is limited and urged consumers to check lot codes to identify affected bottles.

Seasonique birth control pills from Teva Canada recalled due to extra yellow tablets
Health Canada issued a recall notice on Friday for some Seasonique birth control products due to some packages containing the correct blue-green pills coming with extraneous yellow tablets. The agency says the recall is for the 0.01-milligram ethinyl estradiol, 0.03-milligram ethiny lestradiol and 0.15-milligram levonorgestrel Seasonique pills made by Teva Canada. Health Canada said those who find the yellow pills should not consume them and return the product to a pharmacy for a replacement or alternative, adding that those who can't return them right away should continue taking the regular blue-green tablets as instructed until they are able to return them. "If you took a yellow pill instead of a blue-green pill ... or if you are unsure, you should also use another method of non-hormonal back-up contraception (such as condoms) and consult with your health care professional," the agency said. Friday's contraceptive pill recall is the latest by Teva Canada. On Thursday, it recalled its Seasonale pills (0.15-milligram levonorgestrel and 0.03-milligram ethinyl estradiol) due to white placebo pills being found among the regular pink tablets. And in May, Teva Canada had to recall the same Seasonique tablets recalled on Friday due complaints that packages were missing some pills.
