Constellation Brands Beer Division Issues Limited Voluntary Recall of Select Packages of 12 Oz Corona Extra Bottles
March 09 2016 - 1:15PM
Recall is limited
to select 12-pack and 18-pack bottles with deposit
labels
CHICAGO, Ill., March 9, 2016
- Constellation Brands Beer Division announced today a voluntary
recall of select Corona Extra 12-packs and 18-packs of 12 ounce
clear bottles with deposit labels in the U.S. and Guam that may
contain small particles of glass. This recall is very limited
in scope, as potentially affected bottles represent less than
one-tenth of one percent of Corona Extra 12-ounce clear bottles in
the marketplace. Production codes for the potentially impacted
bottles are listed below.
This recall comes after routine quality assurance
inspections at two AB InBev breweries that produce some of
Constellation Brands' beer products on an interim basis.
While the number of impacted bottles is relatively small,
Constellation is recalling select packages of Corona Extra that may
contain defective bottles as a precaution to ensure the safety of
consumers. To date, the company has received no consumer
complaints or reports of injuries resulting from the affected
bottles.
"The safety and well-being of consumers is our top
priority and we take matters pertaining to the quality of our
products very seriously," said Paul Hetterich, President,
Constellation Brands Beer Division. "Since learning of this issue,
we immediately began working with AB InBev and jointly took prompt
action to investigate the issue. We're actively working with our
distributor partners and retailers to quickly resolve the matter.
We're committed to doing everything possible to complete this
recall quickly and ensure the safety of our consumers and integrity
of our products."
All recalled products are being removed from the
market. The company encourages consumers who have packages and
bottles marked with the production codes below to visit

instructions on reimbursement.
