Popular Beer Recalled From UK Supermarkets as Cans May Explode
The Food Standards Agency said affected 4-packs may swell, leak or rupture, and customers are told not to drink them.
On Wednesday, Lucky Saint recalled its 0.5% Hazy IPA sold in 4-packs of 330ml cans, with the Food Standards Agency warning "there is a risk that the cans may explode which may cause injury."
Affected items carry a best before date of August 13, 2027, found on the bottom of each can; the cans may become over-pressurised, causing them to leak or rupture unexpectedly.
Lucky Saint warned customers: "do not drink it or open it," and advised them 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."
Shoppers should not return the items to stores; instead, customers can share proof of purchase with the retailer to receive a full refund.
In some instances, the FSA issues a "Food Alert for Action" to provide local authorities with details of specific measures; retailers are displaying notices explaining the recall to all customers.
