The Sweet Leaf Tea Company has issued a voluntary recall in the U.S. in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration. The Texas-based company announced Thursday that it is voluntarily recalling Sweet Leaf Tea in 16 ounce glass bottles out of an abundance of caution because of the possible presence of glass fragments.
This was the result of glass breakage during the filling process. Consumers could potentially be cut or injured if ingested.
The company has received 4 complaints of glass in the product. No injuries were reported.
The recall only affects certain products — including Sweet Leaf Original, Raspberry, Half & Half Lemonade Tea, Green Tea with Citrus, Peach, and Mint & Honey — and is limited to 16-ounce glass bottles that were sold this year between Feb. 27 and Dec. 6.
Customers should check the manufacturing code on either the case or on the iced tea bottle itself to determine if the product they purchased is included in the recall.
If it is, they can request a replacement or return it to the store for a refund.
Any of the affected merchandise that has yet to be purchased is being taken off of store shelves.
