The news hit my desk this morning, a headline about shattered glass and a lot of prosecco. Nearly a million bottles of Kirkland Signature prosecco are being recalled, a safety issue, you know.
It’s the spontaneous shattering that’s the problem. According to a Fox Business report, the recall affects a dozen states. One injury has been reported so far. The whole thing feels… well, a bit chaotic, honestly.
The details are still coming in, but the Consumer Product Safety Commission is involved. They announced the recall, which impacts bottles purchased between November 2020 and May 2021. That’s a pretty wide window, and a lot of potential prosecco-fueled gatherings.
I’m imagining the scene: a party, maybe, or a quiet evening at home. Someone pops the cork, and then… shards of glass everywhere. That’s what the recall is warning against — a serious hazard. Costco hasn’t released a statement yet, but I’m sure they’re working on it.
The recall covers bottles sold in twelve states, which means this isn’t just a local issue. It’s a widespread problem, potentially affecting a lot of people. It’s hard to say what exactly caused the bottles to shatter, or maybe I’m misreading it, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
The tricky part is figuring out which bottles are affected, and whether you have any. The dates are key, of course. Check your stash if you bought any Kirkland prosecco around that time. The last thing anyone wants is a trip to the emergency room, or to ruin a party.
And the sheer number of bottles is staggering: more than 900,000. That’s a lot of potential for broken glass. I wonder what the cause of the shattering was, anyway. I’ll be watching for more information.
