Constellation Brands' Beer Division said Wednesday that it is recalling some Corona Extra 12-packs and 18-packs that may contain small pieces of glass.
The recall affects select packages of clear 12-ounce bottles with deposit labels in the U.S. as well as Guam. The voluntary action reflects less than one-tenth of 1% of that particular type and amount of the beverage in the marketplace, the company says.
"The safety and well-being of consumers is our top priority, and we take matters pertaining to the quality of our products very seriously," Paul Hetterich, president of Constellation Brands' Beer Division, said in a statement. "We`re actively working with our distributor partners and retailers to quickly resolve the matter.''
The issue was discovered following routine quality assurance inspections at two AB InBev breweries that are temporarily manufacturing some of Constellation's beverages. Constellation says it has not gotten any complaints or heard of any injuries related to the bottles.
